I just put them in freezer bags as they are. Then you just take them out as you need them.
Preserving - in a mixture of water and vinegar, plus salt and any of your favourite spices. |

| You can also preserve in straight salt, like Korean kimchi. Layer of chillies, thin layer of salt etc to fill the container. Best to slice the chillies. Either weigh them down or jam them in. This process is one of fermentation. |

Hi jdwoolno,
I make a source by slicing the chillis finely into a bowl then mixing in as much salt as you like. Leave them in the fridge overnight, next day put them in a jar, throw away the juice and top the jar with olive oil leave for a week or more and you have an oil like tabasco the chillis can be used as well

I sometimes slowly bake a pile of chillis in the oven on a low heat for a couple of hours.
Then just store them like other dried herbs, and crush them into whatever I am cooking when ever I need them. If you blacken them a little it gives them a bonus flavour.
I think some mexican cooking requires 'blackened' chillis. |
