    One way is to freeze them.
    1. Wash and core peppers. Chop, dice or slice according to how you plan to use them.

    2. Spread in a single layer on a tray . Place tray in the freezer for an hour or longer.

    3. Loosen pepper pieces from the tray and pour into freezer bags. Immediately place sealed bags in the freezer. The pepper pieces will remain separated for ease of measuring. Simply remove as many as you need, reseal the bag and return to the freezer. The same method can be used for sweet or chilli.

    Except if they are chilli they will lose most of their zing and if they are sweet they are only good for cooking using that method.

    I have frozen my chilli's in the past and can't say that they have lost any of their heat. [​IMG]
