I put the leftovers in my mini food processor, chop them up, then spoon them into an ice cube tray that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Each cube holds a tablespoon, so it makes measuring for future recipes easy.
I wrap the tray in foil (important to keep the odor of the peppers from invading other foods), then stick it in the freezer. Once frozen, the pepper cubes can be popped out and stored in a freezer bag. It works for me!

We don't eat those kind of peppers, but that is a really cool idea! Good thinking, Anne Marie.
Ah, thank you. I've had this very problem but wasn't creative enough to come up with the perfect solution. I'll certainly adopt this practice!
Great idea! I do that with tomato paste...you buy the whole can and use 2 Tablespoons! I will try your idea for sure! Thanks, and thanks for visiting me today too!

I just processed 30 pounds of chiles myself.
This is a great idea that I can't wait to use. Thank you for sharing!
