Washed and put whole on the fruit dryer works wonderfully. If not, wash, then wearing gloves, and taking the same cotton string you use to tie a turkey's leg when you roast it, using a large eyed darning needle, thread the cotton and then run the thread through each of the tops of the peppers in a row, making a long string, then make a wrap of nylon net ( you can get this in a bridal or fabric store) which helps keep pests off them. Hang in a sunny place, such as off your deck, and let nature do the task for you. Hope this helps.
