I dried a bunch of thyme. Dont really use it much though. Also dried other things using your method. Got a bunch of sage. Sure wish I would of got that basil going before plant died off. At least I got a bowl of Pho in.

Dumb question. If I buy japs from store, can I turn them red by sitting in the sun? Or no deal as they need to be on the vine?

Not sure but probably on the vine. I can say the ones I let turn red got kind of soft and no heat.

I just let them sit on the counter . Normally you like them to be starting to turn . Not sure if store bought work the same way , but I pick and just put them out of the way on the counter . No sun . but natural light .
This is from last year . Serrano , fresno and Japs .


These are from this year . Letting them completely dry for powder .
They were all green when picked . Gonna slit and put in the oven today .

THANKS No idea why I like the red so much better. Looks so much better to me in say pickled eggs or sausage.

I've had them turn from green to red in the pickeling jar .

Per ChatGPT...

Yes, but only under limited conditions.


If you pick a mature green jalapeño, it may continue ripening and turn red off the plant because peppers are climacteric enough to continue some color development after harvest. However:

• It will usually turn red more slowly than if left on the plant.
• The flavor may become slightly sweeter and less grassy as it ripens.
• It won't develop as much additional size or complexity as a pepper that ripens on the plant.
• If the pepper was picked too early (immature), it may never turn fully red.

I wonder if Chat GPT ever grew peppers ?
