Quick Answers
How do you dry whole hot peppers to hang in the kitchen?
Choose mature dark-red pods. Thread them on a string
through the stalks and hang them in the sun on a south
wall. When dry, pods will be shrunken, dark, and may be
bent without breaking. Note: Diced pods dry faster and
have better color and aroma than whole pods. Cold
storage of dried peppers retains better color and
pungency.
