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?

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.

Disposable latex and latex free gloves are available in the paint
section at Lowe's and other home improvement stores. They are cheap.

I use them for a LOT of kitchen work, including working with garlic
(when I'm crushing large amounts of it), slicing or processing hot
chilies, and mixing ground meats.

I made meatballs the other day and wore disposable latex gloves. It was
SO nice and tidy! :-)

I just hate getting grease all over my hands. ;-p

I also use them for doing any spray painting, or scrubbing items with
bleach or acid solutions. My hands are a lot happier. ;-)
