Oh good idea, I will keep that in mind for next time I make it. Thank you for the suggestion.
I should start drying my peppers, so far we have used them up almost as soon as they are picked. But if we start growing more we will surely need to find a way to store them.
Thanks for your insightful comments, I really appreciate them.
When the chillies are ripe, I use a thin needle to thread them onto a string (similar to a string of pearls) and then hang them in a dry, airy place on the patio. When they are dried in this way, I have all the time in the world to think about what I would like to do with them. High on the list are sweet and sour dips or chutneys.
