I string them up by their stalks and hang them in the airing cupboard for a few days.

I dry mine over a smoker on the cool side - gives the powered pepper a nice smokey taste.
You can use a grill to do it also - just soak your wood in water, then throw the wood on the coals.

thats what im doing. i usually use jalepenos chopped with red onions but now i have the habaneros
Your best bet is probably using food dehydrator. If you dont have one, or would rather the DIY way, try Alton Brown's dehydrator. Its basically just put your fruits between 2 cellulose AC filters (the white ones) and strap them to a box fan. Heres the episode of him using it to make beef jerky, same concept. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5912487412723519389

Whenever I make hot sauce I always take some fresh peppers, cut them up (habaneros are really hot wear gloves) and put them on a pan on the stove and cook them a little bit with some butter, it weakens the hot-ness but brings out a real nice flavour for hot sauce.

yea thats the easy way if u got the money
have some cayenne peppers coming into harvest.
im somewhat in experimental mode.
i put two on the windowsill in the sun and have just left them.
another two i sliced open along its length and left on windowsill.
all picked and harvested at same time and place on same windowsill. its been three days now and the sliced ones have started turning a yellow color and have expelled alot of the water in them.

Be sure to grind those dried habaneros outside...getting a snootful of super fine ground habanero pepper is an experience you never, ever, want to repeat.
Yes, I'm speaking from wretched experience. I decided to grind up a couple of dried habs in an old coffee grinder. When I popped open the top, I got a face full.
All I can say is that it lasted for about 20 minutes by the clock, but seemed more like around a thousand years or so. With extra pain, thank you very much.
Now I buy my hab powder pre-ground. One lesson was enough me for me.
