I’ll can what peppers I can as time allows, cayenne are always in demand. The rest I dehydrate and the lion’s share I grind with fresh roasted cumin (and various other secret ingredients) for Drumbo’s famous 6 alarm chili powder. It takes a mess of mixed peppers to make it, but the results are yummy and the nicest spices in West by God Virginia or east of Texas for that matter.
Your spice blend sounds intriguing .
I dry tons of stuff too.
