What do you do with a grocery bag full of Jalapeno's and a grocery bag 1/3 full of Serrano's?
String up the Serrano's. Well I have 10.5 1/4 (My Daughter) string them up.
Will be waiting for these to all turn red then dry out. Ground peppers in the future
The japs you trade One of the two grocery bags to the neighbor for some Salsa. The other bag you cut in half and fill 8 Bradley racks.
Stuff them into the Bradley 6 rack and apply some Hickory smoke. 4 hours and 20 minutes to be exact.
After you apply the smoke to the Jalapenos you load them into the dehydrator you stole from your little brother.
After 12 hours @ 90 degrees they look like this
After 48 hours @ 130 degrees they look like this
That Walmart bag full of peppers has been reduced to half of a gallon Ziploc bag. When it stops raining these will go through the coffee grinder and make some Chipotle powder. Haven't decided if I will mix in some smoked salt with any of it yet. Ah DON'T scratch your nose with your pinky at ANY time during any of these process'. Still sneezing and burning.
All done with this project. There was some Jalapeno's, Serrano's, and Pablano's in the bag. After smoking for 4:20 and 3 days in the dehydrator, I busted out the spice grinder this morning.
Only took about 5 minutes to reduce the bag of dried peppers to 1/3 of a sandwich bag.
Now with the last cap full of peppers. I added in some Hickory Smoked Sea Salt and made what I am calling Chipotle Salt. That is the mixture you see in the shaker. Looks like this with the lid off.
Yeah the whole batch has some heat to it. Just waiting for someone to complain my snack stixs aint hot enough for them!!
