IF you haven't already dehydrated them and IF you like pepper sauce (vinegar based for greens and beans).
Cut the caps off the peppers (leave seeds and veins - as you probably already know, protect your skin). Clean and boil the jar you are going to use - much like canning (whatever size canning jar you want to use) (Note: prior to sterilizing the jar fill with the capped peppers to get an idea of how many you will need AND fill with peppers to the top) Boil distilled white vinegar (enough to fill the jar with the peppers inside) w/salt (I use pickling salt) Fill jar with peppers Add hot vinegar. Place lid and tighten and put into fridge (it will seal).
In about 2-weeks - you will have some GREAT pepper sauce that is a little hotter than what you will buy in the store. It is absolutely fantastic on collards, turnip greens, and pretty much any bean. It gets hotter and better over a prolonged period of time. When the jar gets to about 1/2 - I boil some more vinegar and salt and refill.

Youre gona hurt somebody with that See my thread a few weeks back about the guy at work eating a whole ghost pepper. I paid a guy $20 to eat one of my ghost peppers a few years ago. I called to check on him a couple hours later, he was curled up on the couch in the fetal position, he had drank a gallon of milk and a bottle of malox. He said he would give me $50 to take the pepper back

You will love it. When I grew ghost and habanero’s I did the same thing. Dried them and ground up. Sprinkle on whatever you like for a little or lot of heat.
Here are the pro tips. When you grind, wear gloves, a mask and DO IT OUTSIDE! I ground mine in the kitchen and the wife was in the living room and started coughing and cussing asking what the hell was I doing in there. It will get in the air and you don’t want to breathe it while grinding. Once ground, put in a shaker. I really like to sprinkle my chili with the ghost pepper. Great flavor and heat. I wore gloves to split them and put them on the racks. I will certainly take your advice about the grinding with gloves and outside. It's in the air somewhat now even though it's on the back porch.

His answer was negatory and involved some four letter words.

Once ground, put in a shaker. ^^^ THAT IS GREAT ADVICE ^^^ I've never personally done it (ground dehydrated peppers), but have heard that same advice from several folks.

I dehydrate a big batch of mine every year and grind them up and make pepper flakes for pizza and such. So good.

Habaneros aren't my favorite for doing this. What I do love is habanero honey. Warm up some honey on the stove and then steep the habaneros in it for a while. Strain it into a container. It's amazing on wings and turns roasted brussels sprouts into gold.

This, plus I have a fan blowing air away from the grinder for when I take the lid off. Ghost Pepper dust is not fun if it gets into your eyes.

I’ve never done this but I have a couple gallon freezer bags full of both types of peppers. Once you get done post up how it turns out. I was going to do pepper sauce with mine but may take one bag and do like you are if it turns out alright. My wife went ahead and crushed a little bit of both kinds of peppers today while I was at work, mixed them together and bagged it. A test run so to speak. I put about a third of a teaspoon on an Arby's Beef and Cheddar a few minutes ago and, Wowweee!!! it was some kind of hot. I'll have to learn how to know when enough is enough. It was hot but it was still somewhat tolerable and had a good flavor. Would have probably been better if I had used a little less. Based on what she crushed, I believe I'll have about a good full quart bag of each, maybe a little more, when it's all ground up fine. Test run.
