You can freeze them, dehydrate them, make hot sauces and sauces galore, but don’t forget this very simple way to preserve your peppers - make fresh habanero chili paste. You can reach into the fridge and swirl your chili paste into your dish rather than season with dried ingredients. You’ll get a fresher flavor blast this way. Use it as a rub for meats or seafood, or for soups or stews. Use a food processor to combine everything, or, if you’re like me, use a molcajete and grind everything together until your paste forms. There is something inherently satisfying about processing your paste by hand with a molcajete. Fun! Add or subtract the amount of oil to your personal preferences. I like more moisture to mine and I enjoy a chunky blend, which you can see in the photo. For longer storage, freeze your habanero chili paste in airtight containers for 3 months or longer. I like to freeze it in ice cube trays, then transfer them to a larger bag. This allows me to use small amounts anytime I need them. Works great!
