Marquita Farms suggests the following:

I like the idea of pickling liquor with them...
Dry some of them? Or...
SAUCE!
1/4 cup finely choped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped tomato
1/4 cup finely chopped Habaneros
1/4 cup Seville orange juice, or substitute a mixture of
2/3 orange juice to 1/3 lime juice.
In a bowl combine the onion, tomato, and Habanero. Add enough orange juice to make it soupy.
PS - (I've not tried that recipe, but found it and thought it sounded yummy)
Cut them open in half like a bell pepper, and remove the seeds, before you cook with them. Try not to let the seeds get on your hands, esp any cuts or scratches ;-)
Then chop them up and put them in anything, like a chilli (or a veg chille if you're not on top of the food chain), or in burritos, or whatever. Wing it. Put them, diced, in something hot, mexican, and saucy, with lots of cheese, and have some tequila ready!

Yummy!
Stuff them with morbier, wrap a sage leaf around them, and wrap that with a hunk of thin bacon. Secure with toothpick. Broil/grill.
BE CAREFUL - those mothers could be hotter-n-hell.
It you want to be lazy, infuse them in some vinegar...after a bit, sprinkle the vinegar on stuff.
I have a whole bagful left over from a recipe (we only needed one chile, but FreshDirect has a minimum weight per order - so we got a couple dozen for about $1.00).
I'm leaning towards pickling mine - probably just in a simple brine of 3 cups water, 3 cups vinegar, 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, and a couple of garlic cloves... I may throw some whole coriander and/or cumin seeds in there as well.
Then I'll probably send them to my little brother... too hot for me!
if it matters...I like jenblossom's idea the bestest...and this old man cooks - a lot.
