After making literally gallons of Hot Sauce, and lots of Habenero Hot Honey, the extras all become dried pods for future use (hot sauce, powder/ dry rub mix). My growing and harvest season has officially ended for the year. Time to take a Winter break and plan for next growing season.
This is this season dehydrated pepper yield! All was grown in 5 gallon buckets- they work awesome! The pic may be cut off and need to click the photo to see the whole picture.

Curious about your process for making powders and dry rubs. Have you found a pepper combo you like for that?
I dont bulk grind pepper into powders. My experience is if you bulk grind them and store it without using it fairly quick, it becomes oxidized and tastes rancid in time.
Handle it like you with any quality spice- grind it fresh before use, and the taste is much better.
I’ve done beef jerky using commercial seasoning kits (I like Hi Country) and add your favorite hot pepper powder to the mix. If you use ground beef and a jerky gun, you can make some very flavorful hot jerky. Everyone I give it to goes nuts for it.
As far as dry rubs, the skys the limit there. I typically use Lawrys seasoned salt, Lawrys Seasoned pepper, and my own ground hot pepper of choice and make a blend. I use this for roasted chicken in the oven which come out like a spicy rotisserie chicken.
There is so much you can use dehydrated peppers for!

Oops. I forgot to add the big canister of dried Super Chili from this season!
Do you happen to have both wet and dry weight on these bad boys?
Got a recipe or method for making your hot honey?
What do you feed your peppers to make them produce so much
