With a metal skewer poke holes each end of chili, this enables preserving solution to drain into chili. Bring water, sugar and vinegar to boil, simmer 5 mins. Pack chillies into sterilised jars. Pour vinegar mixture over. Seal.
They're pretty good brined overnight (as per above), then dried off, and put into clean wider-neck bottles and just covered with sherry. They keep for ages that way. (And the sherry's great with a little (or a lot!) in hot water, for treating a dose of the flu. )
Also good to whizz them, and freeze in icecube trays, then empty out and seal tightly to put back in the freezer.

I use Annabelle Langbein's chilli jam recipe. Its pretty simple, absolutely delicious. Every person who tries it raves about it, thinks I'm some sort of culinary genius and asks for the recipe. It was just the first recipe I clicked on when I googled "chilli jam". I like that it uses kaffir lime leaves and chilli from my garden, as well as heaps of ginger and garlic.

I'm lazy. The last time I had a glut of chillis I dropped some into a small jar of oil and threaded the rest (using a clean needle ) on strong thread and hung them up to dry.(It worked a treat) The chilli oil is great to cook with. I will do the same next time, but I might put some into a small jar of vodka to preserve them as well. I'm told that chilli vodka is an "interesting" drink, as well!
Made this yesterday. It's beautiful! I didn't use enough apples, so it hasn't set properly. But that doesn't bother me. Beautiful on sourdough with cream cheese.
