my dad brought me about a half gallon of mixed peppers from his garden that is still producing. I think they are cayennes and maybe a few serranos.. was thinking about drying them. i'm assuming i can do that in the oven?

Smoke then on your grill for a bit, and then low and slow in your oven for a long long time. Crush in a coffee grinder or food processor. That's how I do mine.

I would mimic what bottomland said.

Are you drying them to ground into a powder?

I was just gonna try to dry them so they would keep. I'd prolly grind some into a powder.

I've never done it, but I would guess that a food dehydrator would do the trick as well.

You can roast them then pack in a mason jar or even ziplock and cover with oil. They will keep a long time and infuse the oil.

I keep serranos and jalapeños in the freezer. When I stuff a roast with them, the peppercicles (cut lengthwise) insert very nicely.

I lay mine on the kitchen counter and just leave them there till they dry out. May turn them over once or twice. Takes a few weeks but works great. Then I just break them up with my fingers when its time to use during cooking. Works great. I have some that I smoked first as well. I have a dehydrator but don't really need it.

This is basically what I did. I just got a needle and thread and poked a small hole through the top of one tied a knot and hung them on the bakers rack like a stringer of fish. They have been sitting there for a while now and have dried out.
