So I've got a campground full of harvesters...neat thing is that they hire a lot of kids from other countries who are saving up for their college education. The accents are wonderful to hear...the Irish, English and South African kids...and there's actually 2 Americans working on the crews too..one from Pennsylvania and one from Colorado. They'll be here for 2-4 weeks and their lovely wives will be the beneficiaries of some of my crops...ahhh..you gotta love the good old summertime!:)

First and foremost...wear rubber gloves when you process them..I didn't and had tingly hands for the rest of the day.

I wash them, cut them in half lengthwise and take the seeds out. Drain them on a clean kitchen towel and when they're dry put them in freezer boxes or bags and freeze them. They'll be a little softer when you go to use them, but have the same flavor.

I recommend this cuz you're gonna have a lot of them..they just keep on coming..*lol* They should keep up to a week in the frig without processing them..just depends on how fast you're going to use them. :)
