Dry Chili's...
Bentley:
Never dried Chili's before, have some doubts. Supposed to be in cool (hope that means between 55° & 65°), dark space, that is not an issue. Most of my research showed running stringers through stem, that was not an option for me as I did not pay attention to it when I harvested them. Also, all used cloth thread and a fine needle, which I did not.
So, I did pierce some of the chili's, obviously a fine hole, but if any blemish is going to lead to ulceration and decay I am screwed. Any of you with experience, if I am doing something painfully obvious that is going to make this a fail, please post! Will check them in 2 weeks!
From Right to Left--Jalepeno, then either Fresno or Chili Red, can't remember which, with a couple of Havasue. Then the Poblano, followed by more Havasue, mature and immature (1st freeze 2 days ago) and last the Serrano! Looking forward to the Poblano's becoming Ancho's. Should have taken some of the Jalapeno's and made Chilpotle's, but only had a few red, and to me ya need them!
Bar-B-Lew:
I thought the jalapeno turned red when it became a chipotle during the smoking process.
Bobitis:
I've never dried hot peppers, but this method leaves me wondering. Store them in a cool dark place (where mold thrives)?
Why not get a good dehydrator and do it without worries? If I had a garden and/or fruit trees, the dehydrator would be my 1st purchase. I have red and green bell peppers that were dehydrated 30 years ago and they're quite useable in soups, stews, etc.
They sit in a jar in the pantry with no issues at all.
Bentley:
This is a Jalapeno. Also a couple of more red ones on there. I was under the impression it is just late on the bush!

according to wikipedia, you are right Bentley the red jalapenos are ripe on the bush and used for chipotles while the green ones are not ripe
