Frozen Peppers

Yep.  I’m at it again--processing produce from the garden.  ‘Tis the season!  :)

I promise once canning season is over, I’ll get back to all those fun sewing/crafting tutorials.  I’ve got some good ‘uns planned, so stay tuned!

Preparing peppers for the freezer is just the same as the onions.  You can also blanch the peppers, like we did the green beans, but it isn’t necessary.

I love having chopped peppers in the freezer.  It makes it so handy for all those recipes that ask for peppers. 

Ready?

Okay!

Cut off the tops and bottoms of the peppers.  I don’t think you need to cut the bottoms off of bell peppers, though.  Also, cut off any yucky parts.
