Jons Homemade Chili Powder
6 cayenne dried
3 japaleno dried
3 herbranos dried
2 dried hot bananas
2 T whole cumin seeds
2 T homemade garlic powder
1 T dried oregano
1 t home smoked paprika
pinch of dried basil
2 t canning salt
1 t dried nasturtium leaves
Place all of the chiles and the cumin into a cast iron skillet over
medium-high heat. Cook, moving the pan around constantly, until you
begin to smell the cumin toasting, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Set
aside and cool completely. Once cool, place the chiles and cumin into
the bowl of a blender along with the garlic powder, oregano, and
paprika. Process until a fine powder is formed. Allow the powder to
settle for at least a minute before removing the lid of the carafe.
Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Be sure you wear a
paper mask over your nose and mouth when you are making this powder,
and don't rub your eyes til you wash your hands.
