Since I'm pepper poor, I've been buying yellow habs at the store, remove the seeds of course, and cut them into small pieces. I spread them on Parchment paper, and put them on a baking sheet and into the oven at it's lowest setting of 180 degrees(that's fahrenheit for all of you non Yanks haha). I leave the oven door cracked open, and their mostly dry in a couple of hours. Then I place them on top of the oven over night to cool down and dry out some more. If i need to repeat it the next evening, it's just for 30 minutes or so. And, i save the parchment paper for when i make toasted sandwiches. It's been pretty cold here in Minnesota this winter, so the open oven door wasn't completely wastefull. I've done the same with Jalepenos, Serranos, and Red Fresnos, and mixed them up for a nice pepper blend.
