I love the local farmer's market(lucky me its right down the hill from where I work), and now is green/red/orange/yellow/ivory pepper season. I love making sauteed peppers & onions(using a little Pam butter spray & kosher salt) and with the prices of peppers now (4 for $1) I'd really like to store some for winter (price of peppers in the stores are $1.50-$2.00lb for red/orange).

Can I slice them up & freeze them, do peppers freeze well??


Thanks!

I freeze peppers all the time (green, red or yellow). I get organic
veg delivered to my house, and sometimes I get more of something than
I can use. I just cut the tops off, take out the seeds, wash them
and wrap them as they are. I find they stay moister than slicing them
first. You can thaw them quite easily in hot water or in the
microwave, and then cut them up, or cut them up while still frozen.
They tend to come out rather soft, so I don't do things that involve
whole peppers with them (e.g. stuffed peppers).
