This year I tried salt-drying fine-chopped fresh dill, it worked well. I have a modest tray of sliced habs about half-dried (this was fresh-cut)... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v311/HabaneroHead/Peppers/?action=view¤t=drying_peppers.jpg ...and I have kosher salt so maybe I'll try salt-packing these. Mmmmmm, hab salt. _________________________________________________________________ Want to do more with Windows Live?
