You could also dice them and freeze them diced. When a recipe calls for them, pop them out of the freezer, in whatever amount you need, and add them to your dish.
Yup. I just made a batch with fresh green and black chili peppers since they're not ripe yet. Added a bag of dried chili pods that I also put in the food processor and the color was mainly red again. I think I've made at least 5 wok-fulls of chili sauce this year. My mom called recently and reminded me 3 times in the same conversation to make more. I said I sent them more than 100 oz?! Evidently my dad eats it every day. And my other aunts and uncles ask for it too. And friends. And friend's moms.

I would smoke some and freeze dry them.

I buy roasted chiles by the bushel and freeze them whole. You could roast yours over a gas stove and do the same.
Ooh, smoked serranos! Don't think I've ever had 'em smoked before.
I've also never roasted them before - jalapenos, pasillas and Anaheims, but never serranos.
Looks like I've got some experimenting to do!
Grind them and make chili paste. :) You can try my recipe for tuong ot xa and add lemongrass to it.
Hi WC -
You know, I have the tuong ot xa bookmarked! It's ok that my chilies are green?

Thanks WC! Sounds like your family is more chile-addicted than mine!
