Am growing Jalapenos and Sweet Banana Peppers this year. Looks like I'm going to have an awful lot of thim. My question, once I harvest peppers, how long will they keep, and what is the best method to do so. refridgerate? or not.
Thanks |

| Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers... There's a lot of info around on the internet that tells you ways to store peppers. From what I hear, they'll only last a couple of weeks in the refridgerator if you don't preserve them somehow. The most preferred methods seem to be to pickle them (stick them in a jar of vinegar) or dry them out, but there are a couple of other options. I guess it just depends on how you want to use them in the future. |

| I'm just finishing the batch that I grew two summers ago (habaneros and cayenne). I had them in the freezer all this time and they're fine. Don't expect the crunch of a fresh one, but I've been using them in salsas and sauces and my family is still around exclaiming how hot they still are. They're definitely a good storage commodity. Love em. Be well,

| I dry some, freeze some, and make a few pickles with the milder ones. As Elliot says the frozen ones get soft but are still great in recipes and easier to dice while aprtially frozen. |

| So, If i wanted to store some jalapenos and make poppers or something in the winter, I can simply place them in a zip lock back, fresh of the plant, and place them in the freezer until I need them? Also, if peppers are harvested and will be used within a week or 2, should they be placed in the fridge or would they do better out on the counter top? thanks |

| They will probably be too mush for something like poppers but you can get jalapenos all year at the grocery. |

| Store bought poppers are always frozen... though, maybe you'd want to deseed them before you freeze them, so you don't have to thaw them out to deseed and stuff them. |

| So, I guess my final question, If I want to take some fresh jalapenos with me to the beach, and might not use them until a week into my trip, is it ok to pick them at home and take along in a ziplock bag? if so, would this keep best in the fridge or in cooler? |

| Make chipotle powder... First, clean your ripe jalapenos. True chipotle is red, but I like some green also.
 Slice lengthwise and de-seed
I put mine on my Weber kettle and smoke for about an hour and a half and then finish in a dehydrator.
Grind in a coffee grinder.

| I stuff with cream cheese and bacon and freeze mine and they keep for months. |
