Freezing peppers

[Ohiodislover]

I bought a huge bag of mixed green/red/yellow/orange peppers today at the farmers market. I will use some over the next few days. I'm making salsa, and fajitas.

I know some will be left, and I thought I would just freeze them. Do I have to do anything to them first? Par-boil etc? Or just cut and freeze?

TIA

I just cut them up and flash freeze them on a cookie sheet and then put them in ziplocs when they have frozen! They are only good for cooking, they are too mushy to eat raw.

Perfect--thank you. No one in my house eats them raw, so for cooking they will be

I think we need a "Freezing" thread here on the CB.. LOL.. I'm always asking, "Can I freeze this?", "Can I freeze that?", "Do I need to do anything before freezing______".....

The peppers I did know about - because I've done it before..

I freeze peppers all the time-- if I have one on my counter and it starts to turn I just freeze it. One thing you should do is cut the seeds out before freezing.

Also, I don't bother with the cookie sheet step. I just toss the fresh cut peppers in a ziplock and drop them in the freezer.
