It's amazing how a question about red jalapenos can turn into tequila. You bunch of lushes. LOL

While I'm here, I'll ask this. Can anyone recommend a good and inexpensive food dehydrator? Maybe even a homemade one. I have been trying to dry different kids of hot peppers in the windowsill and it's taking forever. I've had them there for two weeks and their still not dried out.

I can tell you the one I wish I had but I haven't found a small cheap one that works that well...but I keep trying until I can afford the one I want!

Its from Cabella's and it's about the same size as my wine fridge...maybe for christmas when my huby's not looking...hehehe

Davdon. We found ours, a three tray model at Wal-mart for about $25-$30 dollars. Have had it for 8 or 9 years, and it works beautifully for peppers and tomatoes.

Thanks moon, I never thought of looking in walmart. I've read that they are pretty noisy. What's your opinion on that?

Ours makes about as much noise as a box fan....almost becomes white noise....but, we do put it in the utility room because they do give off a bit of heat.... We grow tons of sweet 100 small cherry tomatoes. Cut them in half, dry them a day or so, and stick them in a zip lock in the freezer. Like eating tomato candy...yum. We use them just like sun dried in salads etc. We have tried it in the workroom, but takes longer to dry because of the extra humidity.

I can never bring in the Sweet 100's. I just stand there and eat them off the vine. They are our favorite and the two years we switched I might as well have ripped out the Sweet One Millions and the pear type. We didn't like them at all.
