Hi,

I've grown my own chillis this year and now have too many to eat! Are there any good recipes that I can use them for to pickle them or make chutney so I can preserve them for longer and put them in other dishes?

thanks,

Sam

You can also bottle some chillies in a mix of vinegar and salt. They last for a long time and are very good with all kind of meals.

Thankyou!

I love the larger (don't seem quite as hot) pickled (whole) chilies, great on kebabs, sandwiches, salads (just about anything).. are they a special kind of chili or does the pickling take the heat out of them ?

Good question!

Chillis vary so much. I tend to think that the smaller ones tend to be stronger than the bigger ones (this is our experience here in Texas). But the vinegar might also have an effect.
