Ground Serrano Pepper Recipe

OK, it's not really a recipe since there is only one ingredient! Sorry, I didn't take pictures of the first part of the recipe!

1 lb. Serrano Peppers

Wash peppers. Slice down the middle, lengthwise. Place in dehydrator trays. Set temperature dial at 135F. Dehydrate for 8-12 hours or overnight until thoroughly dry (hard, but brittle.)
Place dried peppers in small food processor in batches. Pulse continually until ground, adding more peppers until all are done.
Some of the seeds may not be completely ground.
Using a small funnel, pour ground pepper into jar or other small container.
1 lb. of Serrano peppers made about 1/3 cup of ground pepper. Use sparingly in soups, sauces, etc. It is very spicy! The aroma as you are grinding can be overwhelming, so take breaks.
