habanero chillis

I have a fairly large amount of Habanero chillis grown from seed. According to the net they are very hot.

Any ideas what I can do with them? can you dry them or decorations or to keep.

    Yes they are really hot. We eat a lot of spicy food and I'd still say they're pretty fiery. I'd make hm hotsauce ;)

    If you don't want to use them all and keep them for later use, you could pickle them in a brine or vinegar solution. You could dry them. Easiest is to wash, dry, then pop into a bag and freeze them and use them as need be. They are easily chopped straight from the freezer.

    You could always make some chilli vodka to give out as Christmas presents.
