storing or preserving chilli's
I have grown several chilli's plants 'Bolivian Rainbow chilli's' which
have produced hundreds of small chilli's which are just starting to ripen. Has anyone got any suggestions on how to store or preserve these chilli's ? |

Has anyone got any suggestions on how to store or preserve these chilli's ? Either a) freeze or b) leave them on the plant till they dry off of their own accord and they will then keep OK. Don't know whether either of these are the best method, but they work for me. -- Kay |

Has anyone got any suggestions on how to store or preserve these chilli's ? I have tried 2 methods so far: 1) drying - I simply picked them and allowed them to dry of their own accord, inside paper bags, although I've noticed on the continent they hang them on washing lines in the sun...the main drawback with this is that they lose the 'flavour' - yes they are still hot but they are similar to any chilli powder you can buy in the supermarket. 2) pickling - they keep none of their flavour and after a month or so, none of their heat, they taste similar to everything else that's ever been pickled - vinegary. This year I'm freezing them in batches, some whole, some sliced, the only drawback (I'm assuming) is that like tomatoes, they 'mush' a bit and are only suitable for cooking, not really a problem for me as I rarely eat them any other way...maybe one or two in a salad occasionally but salads don't get much of a look in during winters around here! |
