whats the best way to dry ceyanne peppers out of my garden?

Answer 1

The oldest & most popular way to dry cayenne peppers in chile producing countries is to tie them to a chile string, called the "ristra" & hang them up to dry. Pick the pods when the color has developed fully. Dry in a location where the air circulates freely. If hung inside a home in a damp climate, there is a good chance that some of the chiles will rot, so it's best to dry outside.

The smaller chile varieties can be used to create wreaths and other shapes & can be used as decorations.

BTW...Jalapeños and several other chiles simply will not air dry, & the only ways to dry some of these thick fleshed chiles, is to use a food dehydrator. Simply place them in a single layer on the racks and follow the instructions for your model. Cutting the thick fleshed chiles in half, or into several pieces helps to speed up the process.

You can lay them out on a screen to dry or string them , just make sure they are not too tightly packed, as you want air to circulate and dry them.
