My first tip “Freezing Hot Peppers”

February 2, 2009

I got this Tip from one of the food network chef’s, I think  it was Alton Brown, but it could have been a fan club member who answers for Him!

Freezing Hot Peppers: This is the simplest way to go.  Hot peppers freeze very well retaining the flavor and texture. Wash them thoroughly and let dry.  Then just slice off the stem at the shoulder of the hot pepper and freeze in baggies with the seeds intact.  That’s all there is to it.  I don’t even bother to blanche them because they freeze so well. Remember, thick skinned fleshy varieties freeze best.
