"I make this powder every year with peppers from my garden. This powder is great to add to BBQ sauce, chili or soup; it adds a nice smoky flavor with a lot of heat! The color of the powder will depend on which type of chili pepper you are using; I used green chili peppers here so of course my powder is green. I posted 4 pounds of peppers but you can use whatever amount you like."
