Peppers are the simplest garden vegetable to preserve! It literally takes just a few minutes to put a years worth of peppers in your freezer. Ready for it…. Wash, slice and put in a freezer bag. That’s it! No need to blanch them before freezing and certainly don’t bother canning them.
The frozen peppers are perfect for adding to soup, casseroles or in my household I use them most in jambalaya. Freezing them does change the structure a bit, they lose their crunch but who cares when you cook them anyways. You don’t even need to grow these yourself. If you see peppers on sale in the grocery store or there is an abundance at the farmer’s market put some in your freezer. You’ll avoid that $4.99/lb price in the dead of winter and you will conveniently have them on hand.
