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.

Canning!!!
I bought a Ball 1884-style water bath canning set today. It was on clearance at Tractor Supply Company. $20.00 off! I've been wanting to learn how to do this for a while and when I saw this the other day, I knew I wanted it! Comes with everything I need, other than the jars which I already have! Now to decide what I want to can first! And, I'm so glad it is blue spackle enamelware. I love that old style! Almost as much as I love cast-iron cookware! Though I wish that half the utensils weren't plastic. Want to find metal or glass replacements eventually.

Purple Avocado Smoothie Recipe
I'm starting to experiment more with avocados.
8 oz. fresh blackberries
1 frozen banana
1/2 Hass avocado
1/4 teaspoon maca powder
1 teaspoon cacao nibs
1/2 cup raw cream
1/2 cup raw milk
Blend until smoothie consistency. Depending on your preferred smoothie thickness, use more or less cream or milk. I normally use 1 cup cream, but I ran out. So, I did half and half.
You can also add a tablespoon of raw pecan butter for a really nice extra bit of flavor.

In an oven-safe glass bowl, melt chocolate with coconut oil in a 350F oven or toaster oven for about 10 minutes. Stir until completely mixed. Cool to room temperature.
Stick each slice of kiwifruit on popsicle stick.
Dip into cooled chocolate. Place on a wax-paper lined tray. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
This can also be done with large strawberries, chunks of banana or other fruits!
