Mine are finally ripping? What to do with them now?

I have only bought them at markets pickled, and they were delicious! Would love to try and grow some next year ... but what DO you do with them?

My first time growing them, 4 months to grow. The website is nice http://www.peppadew.com/main/sa
Also wondering if i can save seed from these for next year?

Pickle them!

I have only 1 ripe one so far, so I used it in salsa but I pickled them last year - amazing!

PM for the recipe I followed.

Allow one or two big pods to fully ripen on the plant and you'll have more seeds then you'll ever need! After they are ripe, slice them open on a plate and allow to dry. Should yield lots of seeds.

I save seeds fro trading but a better option for me was to dig the plant up and bring it inside. I over wintered it and brought it back outside in the late spring. It is the same size as last year, but there are many more pods this year.
