I had to early pick some habenerio peppers.
How big are they when ripe?
How do you dry them?

They're ripe when they turn from green to orange/red. I dry mine out by taking a needle & thread & stringing them up by their stem ( not the fruit) and then putting them in a cool dry place. I dry all my hot peppers this way & when they're dry I crush & mix them together to make a great pepper blend.........Paul

I like cut the top off of mine and pull the seeds out. Then I dehydrate them and put them whole into dry canning jars.
always, ALWAYS! wear gloves
