Make Your Own “Crushed Red Pepper”

(Before It's News)

I had several nice Jalepeno peppers that I needed to use up.  Most of them had matured and turned red.  I decided to just slice and dehydrate them and then chop them up in the little electric coffee grinder spice grinder.  Here they are dried.  I think they are kind of pretty!

 Just a quick moment or two in the spice grinder and it was done!

I gingerly tasted a little pinch.  Nicely hot, but not overwhelming!  I’m glad I tried this.  It was a good call.

This gives me a charming little item to experiment with in my cooking. Actually, I think this would be a good thing to do with ANY peppers you might have on hand.  I can envision a whole array of lovely spices made this way.  :D
