Drying chiles at home

[liuzhou]

There have been a couple of occasions I've put some fresh chillies into the fridge and forgotten about them, only to find the weeks later lurking behind something else. They were perfectly dried!

 

Despite that, probably not the best method.

It's been a few decades since I grew peppers, but I would take a needle and thread and make a garland (for lack of a better term) which I could then hang up to dry.

 

 

I do this, too, though not as a garland: I just string them on thread and hang them by one of the many exposed heat pipes (from one of the brackets) in my flat. It's really humid here, and I don't turn on the heat much, but within a few days, they're dry.
