garlic powder

ONION POWDER

Slice onion very thinly and place on parchment lined cookie sheet in single

layer. Turn your oven to lowest possible temp. Mine goes to 170F, but there

are models that can go even lower. It takes few hours for the onion to dry

out. Onion took much longer to get dry then garlic (like 7 -10 hrs). When

the onion crisps up, cool and grind in coffee grinder. Store in a glass

container with the lid in the fridge. Or use a dyhydrator.

Do the same for Garlic Powder

Chili Powder

3 tsp powdered Ancho chiles

2 tsp oregano (crushed)

1 tsp ground cumin

3/4 tsp homemade garlic powder

Place all ingredients in blender or food processor and blend until fully

powdered.

For Medium Heat Chili Powder, Add: 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

For Hot Chili Powder, Add: 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon crushed

red pepper

Variations:

Add: 2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds

3/4 tsp ground cloves

Add: 1-2 teaspoons paprika

BTW, I order my ancho chiles from http://www.penzeys.com. DO NOT trust their

spice

mixtures -- many of them have sugar in them, but the plain spices are okay.

Oven drying. http://www.cahe.nmsu.edu/pubs/_e/e-322.html

Convert oven racks to drying racks by stretching muslin or cheesecloth

across the ovenrack. Secure with >toothpicks or long sewn stitches. alternate

trays in the

oven periodically to assure even drying. Set oven control at its lowest setting,

but not below 140-50°. If using an electric oven, wedge a potholder between oven

and door to allow a 1 " opening. Moisture from the drying food will vent through

this opening. Close the door on a gas oven, as vent

will permit moisture to escape.
