Thanks for the info guys. I was about to go get fresh fruit to throw into my sausage mix and went with dehydrated instead. They turned out amazing! I made Red Thai Chilli- Pineapple and Jalapeno-Apple-Cheddar. I also made Italian and Serrano-Habanero Cheddar. I used 40#'s of meat(beef brisket and pork shoulder). My freezer is stocked and family/friends are grateful.

Thanks. I used to have a great garden when I was married, living in a house. Now it’s just my son and I in an apartment, so this time of the year we’re limited to the grocery store. I try to hit up the farmer’s market in the summer or my buddy who grows, hooks me up with a variety of peppers.

Jonathon , I think I missed tagging you in my reply. In addition to my previous reply, I’ve been thinking of trying to grow in pots this year. We’ll see how that works out
