The good thing with chillies is that if they are dried properly they will last for upto 18 months if stored correctly. I use a lot of chillies both dried and raw in cooking - any extra ones will e nice. :wink:

i will have plenty spare gtb you will be most welcome to some.

i intend to store mine in ice cube trays finley chopped with a clove of garlic  in olive oil then freeze.that way there will be no preperation involved but will just simply add to the pot as and when required.
