I'm not sure how much heat the tomatoes will pick up, unless they are actually touching, while they dry. Let us know how it turns out, please!

Thanks for this!  Almost threw the chives & green onions into the compost.  The hot cherry tomatoes came out great.
I put the minced hot pepper on top of the tomato and thy are incredible.

    SUCCESS!
    Thank you for all the suggestions and a special shout out to everyone who recommended putting the minced hot pepper on top of the cherry tomatoes. The flavor is wonderful: first the incredible sweetness of the cherry tomato followed by the heat of the pepper. Most of the dried tomatoes with hot pepper are eaten already and I am the only one home right now.  
     As this was experimental,  I made a small batch of about three dozen. Some had minced hot pepper smooshed onto the cherry tomato, some were naked and just placed next to the minced pepper.
I also did a tray of just minced pepper.  
     Criticism, advice, and tips cheerfully accepted!

I would sacrifice a couple of the tomatoes and squeeze the juice out of them. I would whiz that with chopped up hot peppers using my stick blender.

Then I would cut the cherry tomatoes in half and put them cut side up and spread the hot pepper mush on top. If it's liquidy, you might try an eyedropper even?

I think that would be the best way to get the flavour where you want it.

Separate pieces may not have enough "stiction" - the pepper dries differently and faster and may tend to just fall off.

What Carla says - good or bad, worth repeating or not, let us know!

Thanks for the suggestions! I will do what you said.  I'll be starting them late afternoon.  The cherry tomatoes and habaneros are home grown, other mixed hot peppers I got because they were misfits/ugly and unwanted; they seem  run 5-8 SHU.  We shall see!  YAY!

I'm wondering if I can get spicy dried tomatoes out of it, because that sounds delicious to me!

I am brand new this year to dehydrating this year and so far have successfully dried basil, mint, and cherry tomatoes.  My chives and green onion tasted and chewed like wood.  The thought about the hot peppers and cherry tomatoes marched into my head this morning without knocking, and I let it stay.  

I'm going for it.

French fries and suntan lotion, with a whiff of ocean air.

  Many times there has been a green button that says, "Buy this as a gift", which, I assume, gives me the right to buy and gift the access to stream to one person--I don't see that here.  I'm sure it's not a situation in which I can by "instant view" once and then distribute it freely.
Do I need to buy the physical CD's and send them myself in order to gift?  Is there an option after paying, because I'm not seeing it here.
Bracing for crankiness,

I want to buy this as a gift for someone who has a homestead.

I know how to hit the pay button, but is there a way to gift it to someone?

  I forgot about a bag of potatoes at some point late winter/early spring and they sprouted.  It was late to plant them and I had limited space, but why not try?
 
  I rigged up vertical grow containers with chicken wire and burlap and used compost, partially decomposed dead leaves, and some soil (in no particular ratio or order) to fill & hill them.   I placed one in a garden bed in part shade and it produced a healthy plant with beautiful foliage, Four 4"(10 cm) potatoes and 10 delicious 1 1/2" (4 cm) little ones was the yield from this plant.  It also produced the poisonous fruit on top.
  Two cages were placed at the top of a hill that separates my yard/garden zone from my wooded zone. They were left to fend for themselves (after hilling a few times) after open sky changed to dappled sunlight from the tree canopy filling in.  1 marble from that site.
 I had two 10 gallon planting pots with soil, so I placed the cage inside, (removed some soil)  and hilled up as they grew.   One pot was on the southwest side of my yard and one was at the southeast (sunnier). The southeast produces a couple of 3-inchers  (7 cm) and died early and the southwestern one produced 4 nice sized 'taters with lots of "marbles".
 
 Since this year's potato goal was "Let's see what I can learn",  I declare the experiment a success.
 

The worst bed didn't sprout a single seed, but sorrel is coming up fine on its own.  I just keep throwing
organic matter and compost and leaves in
