Re: Chili peppers

Beth,
Thanks for the suggestions.  I plan on using them in some salsa later in the
season when my tomatoes are ready.  I will also use them in cooking
enchiladas and such.  I usually use the canned or bottled peppers, but don't
know how to go about preserving them like that. I have done some other
canning so I have a canner and could do that with some guidance.   I am also
interested in dehydrating them.  Got a message back from someone else about
this.......sorry, I accidentally deleted that one, but I meant to reply
back.  I do have a dehydrator.  Should I chop them and then dry or dry and
then chop?  Sorry about this, guys, but this is my first time with these
little peppers.  They are awfully cute!
