How long can you keep pollen?

How long can you keep pollen?
I plan to experiment with cross pollination.
But it can be hard to have both plants blossoming at the same time.
So I figure I can extract and store pollen from 1 plant and use it when the 2nd plant is blossoming.
I'm thinking of crossing an annuum with chinense.
 
How are you storing it? I suppose folded in some black paper and then in baby food jar with little sac of dessicant in the freeezer should last more than a few months.

Good point Luckydog. I'll keep it in the freezer.
