The allotment next door left us a carrier bag full over the fence, which the dog decided to eat a few, on his 3rd bowl of water and I hope he has learnt to leave the veg alone now...

I've been doing that very job this morning! I always freeze plenty of green chillies as curry/Mexican recipes often call for fresh ones, & they can easily be chopped from frozen. I have strung lots of red ones up to dry. When they are dry, I leave some of them whole & just store them in an airtight jar, and the rest, I whizz up in a food-pro to make into the dried chilli flakes. They last ages. This year, one of the varieties I grew was 'Pinocchio's nose'. These grow up to a foot long & so your eally get your money's worth when you freeze them, as you can cut each one into 3, which is about the length of a 'normal' chilli.

Another vote here for Nigella's Chilli Jam - it's fabulous. I made tons last year and included small jars of it in my Christmas hampers. x

Do you think it would work with a mix of red and green peppers? Not sure I have enough red....

Of course, last night I used red, green, black, purple and yellow.

Hi juicygirl,

As your thread has dropped down the board I've added it to the main thread on recipes for chillies to keep the suggestions together.

This thread may help too:

Preserving chillies?

It'll only make a difference to the colour - I imagine the taste will be the same.
