Stringing Jalapenos for Drying

I love adding colors to my kitchen and home through natural means! There is almost nothing prettier than bunches of herbs and flowers and strings of peppers hanging from the ceiling.

Stringing jalapenos isn’t exactly like stringing popcorn for a Christmas tree.

You need a needle and a heavier thread (I used upholstery thread). I had about 15 peppers so I used about 3 feet of thread.

Tie a thick knot on the end of your thread and shove the needle through the thickest part of the stem.

Wrap the thread around the stem once or twice and stick the needle back through the hole. That will hold the pepper in place and keep the following peppers from crowding.

Thread the rest of the peppers the same way, keeping each one an inch or two above the previous one.

Yay! So festive!  🙂
