This method might not be entirely orthodox, but it worked for me:  I
fired up my smoker and smoked my habbies for about six hours over
hickory, leaving the peppers whole.  They got sort of dry - leathery -
and then I finished them off in my dehydrator.  Gave me a rich, smokey
taste without overdoing it.

Back in late September, when my red savvies were in full yield, I packed
a quart jar with some, leaving them whole but cutting a slit from stem
to tip in the side of each one.  Then I topped off the jar with vodka.
I haven't used the peppers at all yet.  They look like they are still in
great shape.  But I've had a couple snorts of the vodka and it packs one
helluva whollop.
