A few months ago me a Dutchman asked any tips on growing habanero peppers,
well first of all here are the results thanks for your help,

But they are now turning from green to orange and I expect to harvest 20
to
30 within weeks, and hopefully more to
follow. I could maybe use one a week. They are very hot. So what do I do
with them? I can think of 3 options,
Can I freeze chili peppers?
How does one dry chili peppers?
Has anybody ever pickled chili peppers?
I have been to various cooking groups, no replies.
Thanks

I pickle Jalapeno peppers, but habenaros would be quite hot. If you
can or pickle any other types of veggies you might try adding a pepper
to the jar. I like pickled cauliflower with a habenaro added. It
gives a zing. You can freeze them for later use. They do lose
texture, but retain flavor and heat. Just slice them and freeze on a
cookie sheet and then into airtight containers. That makes it easy to
remove what you want to add to a soup or whatever. Do remember to
wear gloves and avoid all sensitive body areas (your own and everybody
elses) when working with habenaros!

Can you give me a clue how you pickle peppers, vinegar and pickling spices?
