Hello Farm Girls!
I just picked a bag (grocery size) of poblano peppers. I will use a couple of them for pepper relish, but that leaves me MANY more...
I was wondering if anyone has had experience drying poblanos to make ancho peppers. I'm in Southern NJ (quite rainy as of this week) and drying them out in the desert sun won't quite work here. I have a dehydrator that I haven't pulled out in years. I also have an electric oven that I can set down to 170 degrees for "warming."
I was wondering what the prefered method is and what I need to do, besides washing the peppers. My husband makes chili in the winter and prefers to use the poblanos in that, but we're a few months from chili weather here.
Or, should I just don gloves and dice them up and freeze in baggies for him to use all winter?
Thanks!
Nicole

Hey Nicole,
I have dried hot peppers before. I would recommend drying them somewhere other than the house because of the fumes. Once they were dried, I ground them in a coffee grinder I have designated for spices. Then store in a jar.
You could always grill or roast them for added flavor and freeze them. (I would do this :))

I was thinking I should just roast them, skin them & then freeze since that's what I do with "regular" peppers. I don't know why I thought of drying them, so much extra work! Silly, sleep-deprived me.
Thanks!
