preserving habaneros

My habanero plant is absolutely covered with peppers and they're
starting to turn orange - this, in addition to, some other varieties of
chili peppers that appear ready to harvest and it's too much to deal
with at once.
What's the best way to keep them for the longest amount of time?
Freeze the fresh peppers? Dry? (in the oven?) Dry, then freeze?
About how long can I keep them with any of these methods?
How long would homemade hot sauce or salsa keep in the fridge?
-thanks
Freeze them. They will take up less room if you cut them up first
(large dice works well.) They will last for years in the freezer. Wear
rubber gloves when you chop them, and throw the gloves away.
