hmmmmmmmm, other than salsa the only thing i can think of for jalapenos is slicing them, using a simple brine solution of:
3 : 1 ratio of water:vinegar (i use cider vin)
1 cup salt per this ratio (use pickling salt)
Then can em for keeping. great for mexican dishes, burritos, enchilades etc.
ALSO: I plan on taking some tomatoes, dicing them, and putting jalapenos & onions and canning this mixture. This will be a quick add to chili for the wintertime!

Angie,  You can freeze them.  I like to bake mine and then freeze them but be careful of the fumes cuz they can fill a house quickly.  To avoid this if I am doing a lot, I will use the BBQ and cook them that way.

They can keep in the house where cool and not too bright for many a couple weeks while you get more. 
I just freeze the hot ones whole and they are great- don't stick together, last a long time and are easy to chop. For bells I cut into lobes and take off the seeds and freeze. I also pickle some hot ones for some uses. They are less spicy that way.

Chenno can I trade you some of your banana peppers for something on my trade list?  I got some this year and I loved them but didn't think to save the seeds.
