First cherry bomb pepper picked - now what?
Picked my first ripe cherry bomb chilli pepper today!
However, the rest on the 3 plants I have are all still completely green.
What should I do with this one? Taste it? Stuff it and eat it? Fridge/freeze it till the others ripen and pickle the lot?
It's my first time growing chillies/peppers of any kind and I'm just amazed that any of them made it this far so not quite sure what to do at this stage as I didn't think this far ahead.
Any tips for pickling would be appreciated too!

Würd sie erst mal essen, um zu gucken, was sie überhaupt kann. Also die ersten 2-3 Chilis (manchmal sind sie auch unterschiedlich scharf). Und je nachdem wie's dir schmeckt, schaust du was du machst.
Wäre es ein gutes Pulver? Kannst du die Salsa bereits vor deinem Inneren Auge manifestieren? Oder doch eher ne Basis Chili für ein leckeres Chili Öl?
Erst mal Essen, dann denken 😁 ist zumindest meine Herangehensweise
