hey MR, great tip on letting these dry a bit before stringing them into a Chile Rista. I just got about 5 lbs from my neighbor and I'm stringing them tomorrow. Thanks again for the great tip.
In Louisiana we cut a little slit top and bottom or they would mildew inside before drying. Now I am in low humidity country and don't need to. Hanging by my wood stove helps them. Didn't need a wood stove in La. Best crushed pizza red pepper ever. They did pumpkin and winter squash the same way. The no power dehydrator.
@@SIN3JASON Slits saved our peppers.I write an old style blog on Pateon on this type of homesteading .The Well Fed Homestead it is very interactive a small group of homesteaders PG13.
I've got a dehydrator but I thought stringing them would be fun. I'm in tbe Pacific Northwest, so I don't know if they'll mildew or not, now that fall is here. I'll see if I can hang them in the sun. Perhaps they'll dry a bit quicker.
That reminds of when I grew up. We strung peppers and we strung green beans to dry. Ever had dried green beans? In my part of Appalachia they are known as shucky beans or leather britches. We also braided onions for winter storage. Good memories, great knowledge. 😉
My grandmother talked of leather britches , but i never seen them do it. There was a couple old timers that had relations from the Carolina’s and they talked of them too along with cold smoking bacon and apricot shine that they made. Love hearing everyone’s stories. You and yours have a Merry Christmas. 🎄
Thanks. Just picked a bunch of serranos yesterday, before tomorrow's freeze, think I'll try this instead of turning them into hot sauce. Merry Christmas .... and after your video I made some grapevine wreaths that came out fantastic. Had to use juniper (what everyone calls cedar down here), since I haven't any pine or spruce.
@@ModernRefugee merry Christmas and a happy new year to the Refugee family. Stay safe... Btw,I seen a new movie called American Refugee yesterday that was pretty good. It came out this yr. 🇺🇲🏴☠️🏴
What happens if you thread the line through the fruit itself? I accidentally did so, then watched this. Should I just unthread them, and use my dehydrator? They are thin walled guajillos. Or will be when dry.
Thanks, l did pretty good with my hot peppers this year but they are not created equal, this one plant was normal hot but one pepper was super hot. I guess UA-cam is going to label me a ' Pepperist' because l dont say their all the same. That's how stupid this all has become.
Doubles up as some Christmas decorations. Lol They look like elf shoes.
Thank you, MR, for the info. I tried this once with an epic failure for a result. Next time I will use your method.
Another great video! I have seen this done in southern Italy with sweet red peppers. Later they would fry them - delicious!
Dried sweet red peppers, what can be done with them? I want to do that.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm a gardener, and I've always dehydrated or frozen my hot peppers. I'll try stringing them next year.

Title for your book "what the old timers taught me -simple, practical, and useful solutions from days gone by"
I have 2 questions: is there anything you don’t know how to do, and when is your book coming out? 😂❤️
Lots of stuff I don’t know (always a student) lol, and still working on the book.
@@ModernRefugee I’d be first in line for a book for sure.
I use fishing line it doesn't break

@@ModernRefugee Merry Christmas, honey to you and your family 💗
Thank you for posting this. Now I know what I was doing wrong. 🤣

Glad it worked for you and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I have 300 + off of two plants, all Cheyenne peppers, to hang. Thanks for the quick info.
Well done Modern
Thanks Mac, Merry Christmas to you and yours.

@@maccabeus-everydaysurvival5828 I will look for it, thank you.
Great video brother
Thanks!
thanks!
Once dried could the pepper strings be stored in a root cellar? Would the humidity cause spoilage? Thanks. Excellent video.
They were usually stored in a store room or pantry, or at least the ones I seen. I believe a root cellar maybe to damp.
@@ModernRefugee
Thanks!
Good tips , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Nice ristra :-)
thru the green or just under it??
Just under it.

That’s never happened to me, so I don’t know. I would say dehydrated them. I don’t want to see your harvest spoil.
I found peppercinni stuffed with cream cheese in oil at the store so I did that and picked the omg good 👍
Pickled
A valuable little snippet of info there. Chillies have a great number of uses, including pain killers.
Good point, Merry Christmas to you and yours my friend. 🎄
Very up close would have been nice. 💚
Next summer, may be green beans
My mom and dad always did that
I used to love seeing the big strings of peppers hanging in the winter.
Do this with jalapeños too?
I have never done jalapeños, but if they were ripe ( red ) I believe it would work.
Thanks, Modern Refugee!
Thanks for always watching my videos and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
@@ModernRefugee Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and a happy and healthy 2022. God bless!
again awesome brother thank you, how long will they last?
All winter.
Pretty cool idea
