Geoid Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have a lot of chillies at the moment, but I want to keep them so I can use them at a later date. If I put them in the fridge they often go moldy Any tips on the best way to dry them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I tie mine together & hang them up in my kitchen,in a well ventilated area,which also happens to be above the radiator - works a treat I also chopped some up & froze them in ice cube trays,which is very handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We use a needle and thread, and string them up in the kitchen (and/or in the airing cupboard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasperaliceuk Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Can I just advise....never, ever, try it in a microwave! Stupidly I did once, opened the door and a whole load of volatile oils just flew out - my eyes and throat stung for ever. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Dav Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 We dry our chillies on a very low setting in the oven - usually over night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I throw them whole into the freezer, then take them out as I need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
