DIY Chipotle Peppers

By: Eileen Gray When you get a bounty of jalapeno peppers you can smoke them to make your own Chipotle Peppers and Chipotle Pepper Powder. Prep Time: 10 minutes Bake Time: 3 hours Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes 24 servings Start Cooking

Ingredients

  • Ripe (Red Jalapeno Peppers, as many as you've got.)
  • Smoking Chips

Instructions

  • Soak wood chips for at least 2 hours. We used applewood chips.

For a Grill with A Smoker Box

  • Light a chimney of charcoal. Lay the peppers out on the foil lined grill grate. Set up the smoker box with hot coals and a handful of the soaked chips. Replace the charcoal with new hot coals as needed and add new wood chips as the old ones burn away. Smoke the peppers for 3-4 hours, keeping the temperature between 180-200 °F.

For a Regular Charcoal or Gas Grill

  • Set up a hot side and a cool side by turning on half the gas elements to low or piling the hot coals off to one side of the grill.
  • Arrange the peppers on the cool side of the grill. Place a handful of soaked wood chips on the charcoal. Replace charcoal with hot coals as needed.
  • For a gas grill wrap the soaked chips in smoker box or a foil packet with slits cut in the top. Place the chips on the grill element to create smoke.

To Dry the Peppers

  • Remove the smoked peppers from the grill and arrange them on a cooling rack. Place the cooling rack in the oven on the lowest setting possible. Turn on the convection fan if you have one.
  • Dry the peppers in the oven for 12-24 hours until they are completely dry but still slightly pliable.
  • If you have a food dehydrator you can use that, but it will smell of smoke when you're done.
