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!

You could also pickle some of them. I made picked peppers (refrigerator)
out of some of the extras from our garden. Here's the "recipe."

Boil a mix of 50/50 white vinegar and water. Fill mason jar with cut
rings, fill with boiling mix. Cap off. No need to process further.
Refrigerate immediately.

They should keep for up to 2 months in the refrigerator. For the second
batch I added some mustard seed as well. I just did them on Monday and I
have not opened them yet.

Sounds yummy! You could put some of those hot red chiles in a batch to make
some spicy peppers. Now I'm getting serious ideas!

The first batch was mostly banana peppers. The second one, which I have
not tried yet, was about 2/3 jalepeno and 1/3 anaheim. The anaheims
have matured and are now relatively hot. You could also put in 1-2
cloves of garlic (peeled) or a whole habenero (to add some heat to the
banana peppers, for example).

Remember, if you are working with the hotter varieties of peppers, you
might want to consider using gloves for the slicing into rings part ;-)

Yes, freezing peppers is fine. Wash them and slice them, put in
zipper bags trying to get as much air our as you can. Don't cook them
first, they will turn to mush when you try to cook them again. They
will be perfect for stir fry, soup, sauteing, crock pot or baked
dishes when you take them out of the freezer. Most of the time you
don't even have to wait for them to thaw. They should hold up well for
6 months to a year, depending on how cold your freezer is and how
often it's opened. We eat a lot of peppers in our house but your
right, rather pricey off season. Freezing peppers is a good money
saving and time saving tip


I'm about to start freezing zucchini - shredded to add to soups or
quickbread; and 3/4 inch dice for other dishes.

again soon....
