Will they?

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Are you asking about storing the seeds or the pods? Hard to tell. Pepper seeds keep their viability fairly well. Even poorly stored seeds should be mostly all right after just a year. 
There are ways to store them longer, by keeping the humidity and temperatures low and stable.

They will grow. Let them air dry on the counter or somewhere for a week or two, then store them in a cool, dry place and they should be more than fine after just one year. I like to store mine in the fridge in ziploc baggies. Last season, I started some pepper seeds that I had saved back in 2016 and they still germinated reasonably well.

Make sure you are harvesting the seeds from a ripe, red jalapeno, not a green one. Its even better to let the pepper go soft on the plant to ensure seed maturity if you are wanting to harvest the seeds.
