Product Information

We love hot sauce. It is even more rewarding when you make a delicious hot sauce yourself at home. We have been asked whether dried peppers can be used for hot sauce, and the answer is yes! Salsas are always a fun option for jalapeños – they can be very family friendly and fun for parties. There are so many options, from sweet choices like jalapeño mango salsa or something tangier like a jalapeño salsa verde.

Also, you don’t necessarily have to store them in the fridge or freezer if you plan on keeping them for the long term. One of the most fool-proof methods for using dried chili peppers is to grind them into a fine powder. This can then be used to replace paprika, chili powder, or cayenne powder in recipes.

There are essentially three basic methods: Allow them to dry, rotating occasionally, for 1-2 weeks. It may take longer if you live in a more humid environment. Peppers are adequately dried when they reach a leathery consistency and are significantly lighter in weight. Stir together all of the ingredients in a small pot then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the peppers completely soften. The liquid will reduce to about half.

How To Dry Jalapenos Without A Dehydrator

There are two major benefits to making homemade hot sauces with your jalapeños rather than salsas. First, hot sauces typically use many more chili peppers than salsas, so you get rid of more jalapeños at one time.

In fact, very simple vinegar-based hot sauces can last for many months when stored properly. A dash of
