I always grow lots of chillis every year and end up with so many for a few months that i cant use them and throw most away. Then all winter and spring I have to buy them if i want to make a nice warming curry or chilli. I will try the rista which should hopeully give a nice mediterranean feel to the kitchen and also freezing for my jalapenos. I wonder if similar (freezing) is possible for my sweet peppers. I was also thinking of making chilli sauce and freezing that if that is possible? Thanks for that.

This works really well particularly when the chillies are already partially ripe. If you decide to adopt this approach and have quite a few chillies then perhaps one of the best (and most decorative) ways to ripen them indoors is to make a chillie ristra.
