I researched and developed this recipe because we had tons of dried peppers from a bumper crop.  There was a mixture of hot and sweet chilis. Most of them were hot…we like spicy food, so I made the first batch crazy hot. I calmed it down after that batch.

We try to grow as many herb/spices as we can throughout the year and use them accordingly. We had to start growing more oregano when homemade chili powder was added to the spice rack.

I use the chili powder for a number of Mexican and Indian dishes as well as in salads and on grilled meats. There is nothing wrong with buying chili powder, but it does feel pretty cool to make your own… You can add, subtract, or substitute ingredients to make it your own.
