make hot sauce

dry and powder them

make a ristra

put the seeds out as bird seed to irritate the squirrels

Freeze some, dry some, make a few pickles, and give most of them away--makes my wife very popular at work.

Dry them, freeze them, pickle them, can them, mash them and make sauce. Save them so you can eat fresh chilis you grew all winter to cure the winter blahs...:)

Take the cayenne and jalapeno, and make a spicy oil with them. Add green apple flavor concentrate and put into a hard candy recipe (it's just simple syrup reduced to the "hard crack" phase), and you have my favorite candy. Dust it with some powdered sugar, get a box maker to make you some boxes, print a label, get a business license, and make your millions.

Oh, and you could make salsa too.

if you are a true chilihead you will come up with your own .make a simple sauce, par boil in salt water different kinds and heat of chili for 3-4 min. put in blender add garlic, a good red wine vinager or fresh apple cider vinager just to thin out a little blend till liqiud you have a sauce.

LET IT BURN

I either freeze or put in sugar vinegar mixture and store in refridgerator. I may freeze more this year as they have a better flavor. I just had subs with habs and jalepenos on them from last season. Cant wait till this years crop is on the plants.

Smoke 'em!

Like Chipotles, of course....Not in a pipe :)

I love posts like these. Gives us great ideas for recipes. Keep em coming. Greatly appreciate them.

I make sweet pepper jelly. Last year I made a dozen jars of habenero and a dozen of jalepeno. Used most of my plants.
you can pour the jelly over cream cheese and serve with fritos for dipping. and can use the jelly to glaze the ribs/chicken/pork etc on the smoker. great hot/sweet flaver!!!

Pickling and smoking are my mainstays. You can never have enough jars of pickled jalapenos!
