These are best enjoyed when the snow has long been on the ground, and the chill in the air is beyond sanity. Drying varieties can either be; hung upside down by the whole plant like ristras, dehydrated in a 100ºF oven, or left to enjoy the fading summer sun on covered screens. Long-term storage types can be carefully wrapped in the cold cellar alongside the root vegetables for a mid-winter’s night delight!
