Bargain chillis-What can I do with them that doesnt involve eating?

Hi,
Just come pack from supermarket with a pack off the reduced section of about 10 chillis. Only paid 49p! I'm not a fan of chillis in food but wondered if anybody had any ideas of things I could use them for as presents. All ideas considered! They seemed such a bargain so would be great If I could put them to good use.

Some chilli plants are very pretty and decorative, maybe push seeds into a pot with a bit of compost and see if you can produce a nice potplant for birthdays next year. (If they have seeds in).0

The tomato and chilli relish on this page is really easy and delicious. In pretty jars, gingham lids and a ribbon, would make wonderful gifts

Get some pretty bottles put in a few chillies and add some oil - either olive, groundnut or sunflower and you have chilli oil.Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

Not a great idea, I'm afraid - there's a risk of botulism spores (presumably from the surface of the chillies) growing in the oil, which can cause potentially-fatal food poisoning.0 -
Chutney sounds safest, Wilkinson sell jars and bottles and the like if you don't have any. IIRC, Lakeland Ltd sell gingham jar toppers.Sealed Pot Challenge number 298, up yours HSBC!0

I fancy trying this. Do you think I should drain the tomatoes first? And do you crush the mustard seeds first?May all your dots fall silently to the ground.0 -

No and no As you cook it, the liquid boils off, leaving a thick chutney - beware, it's verrrrrrrrrrrry hot which we love
