Cherry peppers are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Place them in a plastic bag or container to prevent them from drying out. Properly stored, they can last for several weeks. Pickled cherry peppers should be stored in their original brine in the refrigerator after opening. For longer storage, cherry peppers can be frozen. Core and chop the peppers, then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag. This prevents them from clumping together.
