Freezing hot peppers?

Anyone chop and store in vinegar until ready t use?

I freeze them whole, never had a problem

I do the same, and they are fine. I've read that you freeze hole, but you slice in half lengthwise for drying. I have been doing both with good success.


I highly suggest making a chili oil with them. I use avocado oil and this recipe. I made one batch with the sechuan peppers and my dried thais from my garden, and I made a separate one with just fresh thais and no sech.

I much prefer the thai peppers only. I find the sech is too bitter. Either way it's damn good stuff. I use it quite often. I like this particular person's technique with getting the oil flavored and ready.
