Equipment

  • spice grinder
  • Food Dehydrator
  • latex gloves
  • empty salt shakers

Ingredients

  • 3/4 C sea salt
  • 3 lbs jalapeño peppers each pound yields 3/4 C. pepper powder
  • salt shakers
  • gloves
  • food dehydrator
  • spice grinder

Instructions

  • Wash the peppers thoroughly and dry with a clean towel.
  • Throw on some gloves. Cut the stems off the peppers, and slice them lengthwise.
  • Remove the seeds and carefully lay them on the dehydrator trays, making sure to allow plenty of space around each for airflow.
  • Set the temperature between 130-140 degrees F (130 worked great for me). Allow them to dry for 8-12 hours - check on them occasionally. They may take up to 15 hours.
  • Once dry, they should be brittle with tough skin.
  • Grind your peppers to a fine powder in a coffee grinder reserved only for spices.
  • Mix in your salt as evenly as possible. Funnel into shaker jars.
