That's my question too, Ginny…did you try? If so, how did they come out when you went to use them later?

I do this almost every time I have peppers. I have a tendency to only need 1/2 or 1 1/2 for whatever I’m making. The left over 1/2 gets sliced into strips and shoved in a sandwich bag. Best part is it means I always have pepper slices on hand to broil with my chicken, top my pizza, pepper steak sandwich, etc. Yum!

What I do is cit them just like that, and put them in a mason jar. Top off with boiling apple cider vinegar, and then put in fridge. A quick pickle I call it. works for leftover garlic, onions, peppers, and such.

Not a true ‘can for a year’ pickle, but a simple one. I like to make mixes and then laddle out some to spice up beans in a crockpot or to sizzle in a pan before making an scrambled egg. I call the mixes ‘bean spice’.

I would assume that you can do jalepinos the same way. I dont eat them but my son does. We got alot of them this year

The last time I got a good sale on peppers….5 POUNDS for $2!! Yes, It was at the end of the season at a farmer’s stand…anyway, I also froze several halved peppers. I used them for stuffed peppers. And the frozen peppers made the stuffing part so much easier.
Having already chopped, and prepared veggies in the freezer is so nice when you’re short on time.

I have a bag of pepper rings and slices I made with on sale peppers a couple of weeks ago. I am glad to know they will keep for 8 months! I am going to buy some more this weekend (3/$2 and yes that’s a crazy good sale around here)

I’ve also successfully frozen (and later, actually used) bell pepper halves for making stuffed peppers. Just stuff them while still frozen, then bake.

Funny you should mention this, since I used my frozen bell peppers in Jambalya last night. However, mine had frozen together in a solid clump. I found that banging them against the counter broke the pieces apart, much like you would a bag of ice.
