Penzey's sells dried/crushed aleppo peppers, apparently. You can get either aleppo peppers or pepper paste through Amazon, but not aleppo pepper paste.

Not sure if I've helped...

ETA: This Epicurious recipe says:
Quote:
If using Aleppo pepper, place in large bowl and mix in 1 tablespoon warm water. Let stand until thick paste forms, about 5 minutes.

Fitzie,

There's also Turkish Red Pepper paste, which is made by pureeing lots of red peppers (such as Aleppo peppers, or red bells for a milder paste) and then cooking them down over low heat for several hours. If you're dealing with a recipe which calls for 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of red pepper paste, this is probably the kind they mean.
