How do you dry habenero peppers?

Answer 1

If they are anything like the Thai Orange peppers, I just clipped them from the plant and let them air dry on a drying rack. They set near a south facing window, but not directly in sun until they have begun to show signs of shriveling. I then will place them in more direct sunlight.

Answer 2

There are a couple of methods that I use. In both cases you should only use whole unblemished chili's with the stalk still attached.

1. Tie or thread them onto a string and hang them in a place that has good air flow. The string should be tied to the stalk or if threading using a needle, the needle should be passed through the stalk only. The fruit should not be pierced.

Once on the string, simply hang the thread and leave it until the chili has dried. This can take up to a month.

2. Lay the chili out on a rack and dry it out on either a warm place or out in the sun.

Rack drying is generally faster usually taking less than a week but requires a bit more attention

I have added a couple of related links that go through the process in detail with pictures.
