I've always thought it would be fun, not to mention cool, to make my own paprika from peppers I grew myself. Call me a kid with a crazy dream, but last weekend that dream came true. Last spring while leafing through the Territorial Seed Catalogue, I came across their blurb for Alma Peppers . "Grow your own paprika seasoning!" it gushed. "Alma is one of the best paprika-type peppers for drying and grinding." I had to try it.
