OP Saved by Grace Member S Joined: Mar 2006 among wolves	We planted quite a few different types of peppers this year and I was wondering what kinds could be dried. Also, I was needing to know how to dry peppers. Thanks in advance! Victoria

OP Saved by Grace Member S Joined: Mar 2006 among wolves	I think I will try freezing, hang drying, dehydrating and roasting to see which way we (us and our birds) like the best. They will mainly be for the birds, they love peppers! Thanks again; Victoria
