Hey chilli heads,
I grow several peppers. I have several species that are starting to ripen. I used to freeze them until I had enough of a particular species to make a batch of sauce with...Due to power outages last year I loss several several pounds of peppers. So I'm done freezing and will be dehydrating here on out....
All my sauce recipes that I made use 8oz-10oz of peppers ( pods not dehydrated).
My question:
If I want to keep my new batches consistent with the 8oz-10oz pepper weight from the past, should I weigh out 8-10 oz' of the peppers, then dehydrate them... That way when I'm ready for sauce day I'll know that was the same amount of pepper heat?
Obviously 8oz of pods would turn into barely nothing on the scale once dehydrated.
Thanks in advance!
Carlo
