hmm- good idea. Do you just wack them straight in the freezer or do
you have to do anything to them first (dry out etc) ??


Just put them in a zip lock bag then straight to the freezer. When you need
them just cut up while frozen and put straight into the recipe. I also put a
whole Thai Dragon in home made lentil soup to give it a little zing.

Hi all,
My chilli plants are starting to bear some nice fruit, and by the
looks of the number of buds, I'll be getting lots!!
As a result, I'm looking for ways in which to preserve them for
later use - one of which is to make a hot sause of the type you get
in the supermarket - peri peri for example.
Anyway, I've found one good looking recipe
(http://olliver.family.gen.nz/chilli_sauce.htm) but can anyone
recommend any others ??
One small drawback to the question - I dont know what kind of
chillis
I have !! One plant looks like birdseye, and the other looks like it
will bear larger rounder fruit - maybe habanero (!!!)
Any suggestions much appreciated.

I freeze my Thai Dragons and Habaneros and slice them into stir
fries etc. Keeps the whole year and they are like fresh that way.
