Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If using dried peppers. Grind peppers with mini grinder or spice mill or mortar and pestle or molcajete. Commercially prepared ground pepper products can also be used.
  2. Combine salt with ground peppers. I like to leave it a bit coarse.
  3. Taste salt to make sure it is within your heat tolerance range. Add more peppers if it is not spicy enough or more salt if it is too salty.
  4. Store in an air tight container indefinitely.

Notes

  • Salt can range from mild to spicy depending on which peppers you use. See notes in article above for pepper choices.
