What can I do with Jalapenos to conserve them for 6 months or so? (self.hotpeppers)

Its winter where I live so I reckon that the time was come to pick all my jalapenos. What sauce or pickles recipes do you have?

I was thinking of just freezing them because I dont have any better ideas and I cant find any appealing recipes.

I'm told freezing them after cutting the tops off is good. My friend (who is Latino and eats tons of salsa if it matters) and his mom do that.

Pickling is a classic way to preserve vegetables. Shove them in salt water and get a water seal and the acid from the lactobacillus will prevent nasty bugs from contaminating them.

I've not tried either with peppers though so can't offer first hand advice.
