I've got a pal that's been growing peppers for a bit and can probably get some tips. I get to turn the ones that won't be eaten fresh into awesome pickles and salsa and hot sauces and other cool stuff. I love spicy peppers and there's so much good stuff to make with em. If you get any progress on the jalapeños and probably next year if you grow in larger quantities and maybe a few different peps I can teach you some nice preservation methods

If you ever find peppers on sale en masse and wanna take advantage same applies. Or really for just about any veggie or fruit, I love to pickle stuff and know my way around sauces and other freezables. People accidentally order too much of shit all the time working kitchens or you suddenly sit a slow streak when you'd been ordering for busier times so figuring out what to do to keep a shelf life going has been a constant in my life.
