I stem the habs, split them in half, seeds in and dry at 130 degrees in my
American Harvest dehydrator.  Low heat takes longer, but keeps the color and
flavor.  I dry them in the garage, to avoid spreading capsaicin vapors in
out house.  Splitting required for the depth of the tray, to speed the
drying and to better fit the dry habs into my hab (coffee) mill.

Blue skies,
Frank

Hi all,
I have a need to dry about 2 pounds of habs. I have a dehydrator and just
need to know everyone's favorite way of prepping them. Seeds cleaned out or
not? Sliced, diced, jullienned? Whole?
Our local farmers market has all the hot peppers for about 2.50 a pound.
Thanks,
Diane
