Default Pickled chillies?

Have a real good harvest and still heaps of flowers coming on. Does any one
have a recipe to pickle the blighters (NOT make them into pickles though). I
do like a chilli and cheese sanger.
Thanks

Pickling will change the flavour as you need to add vinegar etc to
make them last. Rather than just using salt or vinegar I make spare
chillis into sambal. This keeps indefinitely in the fridge and goes
very well with snacks and in (or with) Asian food. If you are
interested I will give you the recipe.

They also freeze quite well and the flavour will not be changed much
(if at all) but the texture may lose its crunch. This is probably the
best option if you just want a bit of fresh (well not dried) chilli on
hand after the growing season is over.
