Yes it does feel good to fill my pantry. When I was growing up Women’s Lib really belittled home economics and taking care of a family, but just think about how important a woman’s “house work” was, if she didn’t do it her family would starve, she was every bit an equal partner to her husband everything that she did was to keep them alive, how in the world did that ever get distorted and belittled? When you said these will get us through the winter, I wonder how many women have thought that as they harvested there gardens and filled their pantry and root cellar, the importance of traditional “woman’s work” really hit me. The look on your face was filled with accomplishment and joy, you know that your keeping your family alive, what job could be better than that? Thank you Bev for all that you’ve done to keep my family alive😘

The way I gasped when you put that jar over the center! Genius. 🤯

LOL how you slaughter those peppers, bam bam bam..really made me laugh! But thanks, I now know how to dry my peppers!

Absolutely the best channel. Love you 👍

Thank you so much- for a couple years or so I’ve been wondering why I can buy minced onions and not bell peppers- last summer I bought a dehydrator and I can’t wait to harvest my garden this year and get to work!! Homemaking is a lost art- after a failed apple year marriage in a standard American lifestyle I’m now working from home and starting to “homestead”! It’s o exciting!

Thanks , I learned lots!!!!

Thank you very much for showing a newbie =)

That's so awesome, thanks for the tutorial

I thought I'd share, I use a 32 qt bowl to empty the beautiful dried foods in. I never have to chase the escapees. Love your videos of "how I do it"😍

Thank you for another informative video will wonderful tips. God bless you.

Gorgeous jar

11 lb case of red shepherd peppers 9.99 at nofrills starting Thursday sep 8,2022. Dehydrating today!

I buy a lot of veggies from our farmers market too

Where did you get those mesh trays

Yes!!!

How much dry bell peppers to use in recipe

I just did a gallon size bag filled with chopped sweet peppers but didnt blanch! 😭

Yes it does.

I know nothing about dehydrators ...is yours electric or what is it called?

This video came up in my feed again and it’s every bit as good the second time around as it was the first time, thank you Bev, Cindy

I blanched 20 onions and it still took 2 days to dehydratee.

Your videos are my "Go-To's". They are my favorite! So simple and instructive they are the easiest to understand. THANK YOU so much for sharing your knowledge!

Your dehydrated peppers and garlic would make a great dip mixed with sour cream. Gluten free treat for Arthur with some plain potato chips.

Thank you so much for doing this dehydrator series. I love to see your techniques and I use them alot in my own kitchen. I really appreciate all that you do!! Thanks again Bev!!

You always teach me so much. I have been dehydrating for a few years now and never blanched my vegetables. I will go that from now on. Thanks Bev

Lord, yes, it feels great to have a full pantry! I love dehydrating, because it only takes a tablespoon or two of dehydrated peppers and onions to season an entire dish. I'm on a really tight budget and I try really hard to not waste anything. So many people who live alone or with only one other person use half of a pepper or onion and a stalk of celery, and before they know it, the rest of what they bought goes bad. No big deal if food is plentiful or you have a lot of money, but most of the people I know don't have either. My house rule is to dehydrate or can whatever isn't used in a week. I can't begin to tell you how much that saves me! This month alone I was able to use my food money to buy bulk packages of fresh, boneless chicken breast to freeze and can, and pork shoulder to make sausages to freeze and/or can. I got 12 lbs of sausages . and 40 lbs of chicken breast put up for future meals, but that meant about $70 out of my budget for 2 people is spent. But I won't have to onions, green pepper, celery or a whole slew of other things because they're nicely dehydrated and shelf stable. Add the canned vegetables from the garden all sitting on the shelf! Now that feels good!

Thanks Bev. I never thought to blanch my peppers before dehydrating them. I'll have to do that if I get enough peppers this year. I'll be glad when it cools off so I can run my dehydrator. The temps are still in the mid 90's during the day (not counting the heat index) but nights are beginning to cool some. I love having a full pantry too. Much Love

You work so hard all spring, summer and fall to have a bountiful pantry for the winter! Reminds me of my oldest sons favorite storybook The Little Red Hen .

Just found your channel and enjoying it so much. Learning lots from you. Thank you.

I love watching your dehydrator videos! I have so much in food storage, I buy when it's on sale, dehydrate all year and rotate everything! Love it all in soups and dehydrated fruits for snacks! So good!

Yaaaaaay. I love to dehydrate veggies. Such a great space saving method ! Thanks for showing us how Bev !!!

Love dehydrating peppers! So easy to keep in pantry & use for cooking. Pam

Just got thru preparing a 5 gallon bucket of Bell Peppers to dehydrate. We had to pull them early before a frost, so most of these are green . So I said, "Let me get a refresher course from Bev ." Just made Sweet Pepper Relish yesterday . PEPPERS, PEPPERS, PEPPERS ! A GOOD THING !

Another awesome video! Just what I needed to see, as sweet banana peppers were the only thing that grew well in the dry heat this summer. What a pretty color blend of peppers. You are always SO busy! ❤️🍅 🌶 I already have a dicer with all the attachments which I love.

Love it Bev, I wondered why my sweet peppers all looked black from last year by this summer. Blanch, I gotta remember to blanch! love the colors too! thanks again for a wonderful video and useful tips!!

Always enjoy watching you dehydrate veggies. Love you!!

You are so informative! I love it! 😇❤🙏

I always learn something new when I watch you videos Bev. I'll try blanching my peppers next time around. That jar looks so pretty filled up.

I love my chop wizard, it sure makes things easier if you have a lot of veggies to chop. Beautiful peppers ... I'm glad you told us about blanching the peppers before dehydrating them, I didn't know that. I love having soups when it gets cooler weather.

Those peppers are beautiful! How nice to have such an abundance in your pantry from all your hard work. I'm canning some peaches to have on our shelves. Baby steps!

👍😙👌❤ Bev...they have some of that plastic canvas at the dollar store and you can cut them to fit your dehydrator...I did 👍

Your like the best cook and prepper ever i learn so much watching you god bless

I'm not a big pepper person but a little bit could go a long way. Thanks Mrs V.

Such pretty colors

Hi from the UK, just finished filling my cupboard with dried veg, great minds think alike, chicken and (dried) veg soup for me today too, it’s chilly here. Loving your videos x

Love your Texas cutting board. I’m in TX. And I purchased that chopper from amazon when I saw yours. I want to start dehydrating you have given me the big. Lol. 💕

Pretty looking confetti jar. Appreciate the dehydrating video's.

I love watching your dehydrating videos. Your so awesome and entertaining. Would love to see how you put together your vegie jar and soup mix. Tfs and God Bless 💕😊 P.S. stay away from that enormous spider!🕷

Wow!! Love that jar used to block that hole in tray!!!!

Just learning how to dehydrate peppers. So far we’ve only tried with cayenne. Want to try jalapeño and sweet peppers next. Thanks for sharing!!

I love all the pretty colors and great taste of mixing my peppers

I tried your method with some peppers my inlaws gave us... worked like a charm! Thank you! Hugs~ Lea

Very nice peppers! Will make your soups awesome! Good info

I am glad your sharing your dehydration steps like you have done in the past. I learned something or at least saw a trick you did which was using a jar over center hole in your trays. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

That's what I need to do with all my peppers!! Thanks for the video!!

Those look so pretty

Nice to have dried on hand ,so pretty

I was just wondering what to do with the hot peppers that I have to pick today and this popped up in my notifications! Thanks!

I love filing the pantry ,😁 have a great week

Yes it feels great !!!

We never stuff green peppers because of indigestion. We use semi hots. I cut semi hots in half and clean them out for the freezer. They add great flavor to chicken soup. Even when I make chili I use orange and yellow sweets because I just don't digest green peppers very well. I tried dehydrating basil with my oven. They got black spots all over, and I had to throw them out.

Thank you!

Love the Texas cutting board!!! BTW, I live in Texas 😁😁😁

Gotta love those choppers. Love mine.

Love this video

Beautiful peppers

I just picked up a 10 pound bag of onions to dehydrate. I also found a clearance on celery hearts. Two per package at $0.89 a bag. I got the last three bags they had. I already have yellow and orange peppers in my freezer. There wasn't enough to even make one tray this time.

Oooooh scrummy jars full of pepper perfection. 😋👏🏻. 🐢

Booooootifull 😍

this video was perfectly timed a few weeks ago. I dried the first of my peppers and put them aside. Today, I took 3 lbs of peppers, as the main crop is coming in, and made taco sauce.... oh yeah! If it weren't for you and a few others 5 years ago, I wouldn't be canning today. I had to buy cilantro for the recipe; so I priced the total value of my hot sauce while at the store. $20 or more. Yeah. It was worth the work. And the pantry is better stocked for tacos, chili, and hot wings.

Please do more dyhidrating vids I am just leaning how to and I really enjoy watching you thank you

What is “Mack tack it” for the freezer? ❤️ your vids!

A terrific video.thanks.. please show us how to make your chicken vegetable soup..I think I'm going to buy a dehydrator..I waste too many fresh vegetables..great idea

Luv ya. lookin" beautiful!!!

Never thought about dehydrating peppers. They're expensive and when I buy them half normally go bad before I can use them. Now I know what to do with the leftover peppers. Thanks! Can you dehydrate tomatoes too or Broccoli and cauliflower?

Thanks for this. I dehydrated some onions last night out in my carport, but I was "winging it". I don't know if I was supposed to blanch or not; didn't think of it until I watched this video. I have celery to dehydrate next.

I dry peppers all the time. I dry mixed medium hot peppers and then sweet peppers. It's really saved food waste. We aren't big fans of the taste of green peppers but we love the colored variety.

I had a friend w/arthritis and all peppers (not the green) cause inflammation. Do you experience this too? Peppers with onion yum! Chicken soup sounds greaaaat! God bless.

I don’t have a dehydrator yet. I have one on my amazon list I need to buy that!

I dehydrated mine out in the sun this Summer out in our Nevada sun

Thanks for showing us how to dehydrate peppers. Did you ever make your own paprika? I just did that this week. Do you have videos showing how to cook with the dehydrated vegetables or fruit?

Do you blanche the onions before dehydrating? I have lots from my garden this year & would like to try dehydrating some.

I just bought a Nesco dehydrator cuz of u I haven’t tried it yet, but a good friend said I’d LOVE it Ty Wish u could’ve made some money from Amazon from my purchase U need to get the affiliates link so u can make money from Amazon from ppl that watch ur channel

when you rehydrate the veggies how is their texture?

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR WATER AFTER BLANCHING? Myself I think I would make a rue with it or stock for soups, what do you think?

Can you do this with frozen peppers?

You really pound on that chop wizard and it seems to hold up well. How long have you had it and is chop wizard the brand name. I've tried 2 mandolins and cut myself bad with both of them

I dehydrated peppers or as we call them capsicum in Australia tonight. I didn’t blanch I didn’t see this until a few hrs later 😔

Can you re-post a link or previous video with info about the chopper.

When you store your dehydrated stuff, do you seal them in between uses? I find mine lose its color after a while. And then I get Leary about using them

Are bell peppers smelly when they're dehydrating we used fresh bell peppers from the garden and they just stink and wondering if this is normal? we are using an old dehydrator. It has no fan just two vents one on the top one on the bottom and they have been dehydrating for more than 24 hours

I do think green peppers are necessary when you stuff with ground beef. The bitter contrast adds that extra little something. Even Chef John of Food Wishes said that. But the red are great in other ways.

This might be a silly question, but do you seal the jars any special way (like oven canning)?

do you make soup powder out of yer dryed vegtables? its cheating i know but sure is a fast way to make soup plus ya get all yer veggies in one soup,, just add meat and noodels and/or rice,, that knife ya using sure would make a good skinning knife..thank you for the video

Cant do hot no way no how But sweet I love raw.

Smart idea putting hot ones on bottom

It's hot here in the hundreds

You’re gonna be all set for soups and stews.

Are you nor afraid to lug around those huge pans of boiling water? I am afraid your going to get burned someday. I guess though if you had to wait on one of your men to handle everything heavy, you’d never get anything done. Thanks for the video!

1/2 acres and you go to a farmers market for peppers ? lol.... have fun. later dan t
