Pick them, pod them, and dry them indoors.

Hmm, I'd agree to drying indoors, but would leave them in the pods to dry,
as I've foudn they discolour if you pod them first. Have you had success
with them drying outside of the pod?

Yes, on the plants. Quite a few have dried very well. I picked them and
left them in the garage for a week to finish drying before podding them.
I've a few picked and drying at the moment, I put them in the greenhouse
during the day when its warm, but indoors overnight. The rest will be
picked today in the sunshine!
