I'm going to put the remnants of my fall Chile crop in a couple of narrow glass jars and cover them with white vinegar, stictly for decorative purposes. When I have tried this in past years, the vibrant colors (hab orange, lemon drop yellow, jal and Thai dragon reds) start to fade after a few months on the shelf, even when stored out of direct sunlight.  Anyone have any thoughts about how to preserve the colors of the goodies?
