It is very easy to make your own dried hot red peppers with 'Cayenne Long Red Slim' because of its thin skin. Simply thread whole peppers through their tops with a needle and thread and hang to dry. To cook with dried peppers cut them in half, deseed, and crush to add to soups and sauces. The flavor is so much more enhanced and fresh tasting than the crushed dried peppers from the grocery store.
