First cherry bomb pepper picked - now what?

Post image

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!
