I'm new to growing jalapenos (actually new to growing anything at all) and was curious about how to store the peppers until I'm ready to use them. I plan to use them to make hot pepper jam but want to make a large batch at once. How should I store the peppers until I have enough to do this? I've heard freezing isn't the best way to go because they get mushy but if I'll be chopping them finely anyway, does it matter? Any tips would help. Thanks!
