Put straight in the freezer.

I make a garland of chillis with needle & heavy thread, string it up in an airy place and they keep perfectly for at least a year as I gradually use them up.

Just as #2.....i wash and put it in freezer straight way. I have about 3kg of chillis which will last about 10 months. When you take out of freeze it's like fresh....so i dont have to worry about buying it everytime.

everytime I go out and pick my fresh red chillies, it reminds me that they are 4.95 for 6 in the supermarket... wash dry label bag and freeze... I also like to blend the three types of chillies I grow by drying them in the dehydrator and then whizz them up to a powder in the ninja... The heat intensifies three + times...

I've got a bagful frozen, all the recipes I've seen only used about one, it's going to take me a long time to used them up at that rate!!
