I dice them and spread them on a cookie sheet.  I then put them in the
freezer.  When frozen solid, I put  them in the container I intend to keep
them in and return them to the freezer, where they remain at the ready to
satisfy my winter chile needs.  This way I can use whatever I need, quickly
and easily.  I put all varieties in one container, mixed together.  

Of course I also do a lot of dehydrating too.  I am also interested in
alternate methods of winter storage.
