It’s paprikaville here at Lake of the Ozarks.

The three paprika plants are kicking out bright red fruit at a pretty good clip. Taking advice from a fellow club member, I cut these into slices and dried them on a pizza pan in a convection oven, slowly at 150 F.

At about 3 hours, the strips and seeds are dry and about crunchy. These go into an electric coffee grinder and I have a nearly full pint jar of ready to use paprika powder.
Great on chicken, pork roasts, chili, etc.

Good fresh paprika is hard to beat. The stuff in grocery stores is way too old and has lost it's flavor in my opinion.

I need to see about growing some here next year.

I love paprika, almost everything gets a dash or handful depending on what’s cooking. I will have to plant some next year.
