Every time I dry it takes so much longer than anyone says. I put my peppers in (and tomatoes) 22 hours ago now.. still moist. Last year it took 2 days to oven dry my tomoatoes… weird, but it’s still good.

Thanks for making this post! It’s been really helpful to this suburban-woman-turned-city-woman.

Question: if the peppers are sticky, does that mean they’re not completely dry?

I’m so glad I stumbled on your blog/posts on drying (have bookmarked the tomato one, too). I’ve been canning for a few years and have just gotten started on drying and I’m completely geeked. I’ve got plenty of reference books, but your pictures make everything much clearer (love those lipstick peppers, too). I have a big cooperative garden with about 10 members and we are always looking for new ways to use and preserve. Next year I plan to get a good dehydrator, but this year I think the gas oven will be good enough. Thanks for putting out this great information!

[...] I thought I’d up the ante a bit by reaching even deeper into my dried preserves larder to use a few oven-dried sweet peppers. I hadn’t done anything other than pop a few in my mouth while I was bagging them up way back in [...]

Thanks for the update, VegeYum! I’ll definitely check out your post. Can’t wait to see what you’ve put together. I’m making another stash of the peppers myself with the last of what’s on the vines here…which are about to die as we got our first frost this week. Now it’s almost time for me to start using them in recipes since the fresh produce is drying up.

Hi Jennie, thought I would let you know that my peppers post will come out on the 5th around 8am (my time). I am never good at time/location conversions. I roughly know Hawaii’s time (yesterday + 4 hours), so if you are in the US maybe you are about 14-17 hours behind us? So that might make it around late afternoon or evening on the 4th your time?

I so love that you introduced me to these. I am thinking that you might enjoy my photos.

I went back to my stash of the peppers last night to have a snack – hey, they are still so sweet and taste even better having sat for 2 weeks. I will have to make another batch now – this time for use in cooking and powders.

VegeYum, your tomato post is great — can’t wait to see the pepper one! I haven’t gone so far as to snack on mine yet, but I just might have to do that .
