Interesting. This is my first year with peppers, so no experience.
Ron:
In the past I've had real good success freezing jalapenos.
I used to put them in everything and one big plant would get me through the winter usually.
Once, I pickled them and was pretty happy with the results but truth be told in Chicagoland our giardiniera options at the grocery store are overwhelming. Every hotdog/beef stand in the region markets their own.

Why not get yourself a dehydrator and dry some of them, as well?

I might look at playing with a dehydrator in the Winter, when I have lots more free time. For right now, I'm looking at pickling and I just started a thread in the survival subforum because I spur of the moment decided to try canning as well.
If I can somehow get a year with no emergencies, I'll be planting a much larger garden next year, and would like to look at some combination of freezing, canning, and dehydrating.
T.O.M.:
What's the best way to dehydrate peppers? Last year, I cut the peppers (jalepenos and habeneros) into rings and dried them on a food dehydrator. Stored in ziplocs. The habeneros were moldy within two weeks. The jalepenos were fine. This season, I also have tobacco peppers, which are tasty, and produced like crazy.
