It is 14 degrees here in southern Ohio this morning and I dried my Milan's Balkan Blend all the way to crunchy. I loaded up a big bowl and enjoyed it for over an hour. I do enjoy this stuff in a Country Gentleman on a hot sultry summer afternoon, but this kind of crispy, spicy, sweet, smoky goodness is only possible at this time of year. I'm not saying that I did not freeze my cahonies off, but it was worth it.
