My husband planted a few chilli seeds towards the end of last year and we have been harvesting a bountiful crop since then.
So many that we have had to freeze them until we can find time to make something with them. So far all we have made is sweet chilli sauce.
As the freezer bag is almost full I have decided to dry the chillies we are still harvesting.
I halved and deseeded the chillies and spread them on the dehydrator trays. These were on 50℃ for about 24 hours (probably didn't need that long but I forgot about them, oops). Once they had cooled down I mashed them with the mortar and pestle and put them in a container to use in future recipes.
