Homemade Red Pepper Flakes

Image
My husband and I made - homemade red pepper flakes today.  They are SCREAMING HOT.... but I like 'em! From husband's Facebook post earlier today: My dad had a Hispanic neighbor give him some "really hot" pepper plants. They turned into a bumper crop! Now, he has (no exaggeration...) THOUSANDS of tiny red hot peppers. And, these little fella's are INSANE hot! So, we're drying some out in the oven at a low temperature and we intend to run them through the food processor (outside) and make our own red pepper flakes. If it doesn't work.... we can try something else. Peppers are everywhere in Dad's garden.

No matter where you are starting from know that: ***************************************** Hobbies & Creations I ♥ the idea of "upcycling" - reusing things to make other things!  Check these ideas out... so cool! To start a garden inside - use juice cartons! Reuse old t-shirts - these are SUPER easy to make!! And who doesn't have old t-shirts stuffed in drawers that you could accessorize with??
