Freezer Friday: Pepper Bombs

In the summer I'm able to get green peppers for about $0.35 each.  Since this is pennies next to what we would have to spend in the winter for fresh peppers, I like to stock up and stash them in the freezer.  My process for freezing peppers is used with the intent of cooking with these peppers later.  They'll end up in spaghetti sauce, soups, chili, casseroles - you name it.

Simply wash your peppers.

Cut the seeds and core out of the pepper.  Then chop or slice the peppers as you want them for your future cooking.  (HandyMan is chopping SO fast...ok, fine -it's just a blurry picture)



I put one pepper worth of chopped pieces in the center of a piece of plastic wrap and

then close the plastic wrap up around the pepper pieces.  Voila!   Pepper bomb.



Put multiple pepper packets in a large freezer zip-top bag and you're ready to go.  When your winter recipes call for one chopped green pepper and dollar signs register in your head, remember your freezer stash and enjoy!
