Cinnamon Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I have a heap of beautiful little red chillies,many more than I will use up right now. Hows best to store them.....can I dry them & crumble them maybe,or pickle them somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Dav Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 To store them you can do numerous things: make ristras with them if large enough to dry them plus really decorative freeze them pickle them or add them to what ever you are pickling eg onions make chilli flavoured oils and vinegars even flavour liguors make powders, sauces etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I dry mine in a food dehydrator - well away from people though as the resulting air can be a bit stingy on the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I always freeze chillis as I don't use them very often and there's always more in the supermarket packets than I can use quickly. They freeze brilliantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
