Best use of frozen chili peppers

[Kesto]

Hi everyone.
i have a bunch of different chili peppers that I’ve had in the freezer for probably a good 8 months or so.
I'm sure some have some freezer burn, but most look ok. There’s a variety, a bunch of stuff I brought back from Indonesia as well as a good batch of jalapeños. 
 
I’m hoping I can get some options as to what I can do with them.
i was thinking maybe some type of jam? Or pickling? Or a sauce? 
 
I would have to look into what some of these peppers are as I don’t recognize a couple of them, but the others look like cave rawit or a variation of them. 
 
But, yes, would be interested in hearing what my best use for them would be. I have a feeling that maybe they might have to be tossed, but if I can get a good use out of them, that would be ideal.  
 
Thanks in advance and stay safe!

You can make sauce or cook with them and include them into your meals. Pickling would be gross, they will get very soft and mushy once thawed.

I 2nd Joyners.  Sauce, adding them to meals and jellies/jams.  I made some jelly with some frozen ghost peppers that turned out good.
 
Good luck.

Thanks Joyners and Tabo! Never made a sauce or jelly before but have been watching videos on how to make them, so I guess it’s high time I move in that direction!

I like to shred my super-hot chili's in the food processor with a little vinegar to make a kind of paste.  I just add a little salt and maybe a little sugar in this.  Would frozen chili's be good used this way?  I have a lot of chili's coming in now and they have to be frozen so I was just wondering also.

Not sure as I dry mine But this seems helpful

I agree with the commenter that if you were pickling, frozen peppers might not be a good choice.  However, I mentioned that I make a kind of paste.  A paste does not require the use of crispy peppers.  I will probably pickle some and freeze some of my peppers this season.  I also plan to try sauteing the frozen peppers in a little oil.  This is my first year growing super-hot peppers so I need to try to discover a few different ways to enjoy them.  Dried pepper is not my favorite way to use them.

Frozen peppers work well in cooking, sauce, dried/powdered and would be excellent in paste.  You can search this forum for AJ Puree and frozen peppers would be fine in that too.

I've thawed and dehydrated/grinded into powder a few times. Freezing doesn't have any noticeable affect after making powder (at least that I can tell).
I thaw them then slice and add to food cooking all the time too. I always tell friends to be careful if they make sauce, watching the ph etc...

I have had a lot of success with freezing them as I harvest and dehydrating them, which I then make a powder of using a food processor. I haven't noticed a degradation of taste at all. If you do this, make sure to keep a desiccant pack in the powder jar.
