Answer
Mike, propagation from seed is a relatively easy process.  The key is to keep them dry and cool.

Harvest the seeds and place them in a brown paper bag.  Be sure to store the bag in a dry location.  After about two weeks, shake the bag and carefully remove the dislocated seeds.  

Place the seeds in a ziplock bag and store them in the back of your refrigerator in a plastic tupperware container.  After a dormant period of at least three months, and after your last expected frost next spring, the seeds can be planted.  Pepper seeds will remain viable for at least two years.

I hope this answered your question.  Good luck, and have a great week.

Regards,

Mike
