Crushed pepper

If you have a plethora of hot peppers in your garden, try making your own crushed pepper flakes. Trust me, these flakes will blow away their store-bought counterparts. We're talking not just heat but loads of flavor! Simply place peppers on a baking sheet and cook at 170 degrees all day. Turn the peppers often and take them out at night. In the morning or when cool, pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
* Use cayenne peppers, paprika peppers, or any other hot peppers. If using larger peppers, quarter to ensure quick drying time.
