Here mght be an interesting thought for those who like heat.

Here in southern New Mexico where I live, and once visiting the Las
Cruces Farmer's Market, there was a local business, which I believe is
called "The Truck Stop" selling hot Powders, ad my favs were the
Jalapeno, and Habanero.

After become "somewhat: accustomed to the initial burn the first few
times you try it, I myself have found an addiction to the stuff.

I sprinkle it on Soups, Chili, Veggies, Potatoes, Tomato Juice, V8, and
use it also to occasionally spike a store bought Salsa.

Once can similarly duplicate this Powder I've found by using fresh
Habaneros, washing, and removing the stems, cut in 1/2, salt lightly,
place on a Cookie Sheet, and dry-dehydrate in a 140 degree oven for a
few hours. Remove, and let sit overnight. They will be bone dry by the
next morning.

Use a Blender on highest, or as I use, a small Coffee Mill to pulverize
into a Powder, then place in a Salt Shaker.

Lastly, a word of caution if you make this. Definitely wear Gloves when
handling-cutting them, and be very careful while grinding. Opening the
lid, and getting one whiff of the dust will choke a horse. I found out
both the "hard" way! lol Mark
