Freezing Hot Peppers & Preserving Hot Peppers. Blanching Hot Peppers & Drying Hot Peppers .MP4 

Thanks for the video. In Argentina and hot peppers are hard to come by. Brought some back with me on my last trip. Now I can save them longer.

Thank you, I got two hundred jalapeños for $3 at the market, after giving some away, I will use the method to preserve the others, I won't buy jalapeños in a while thanks to you😀

Nice

Thanks!!! :) great simple video!

Nice smile!

Rather than blanching, could I wash and roast them and then freeze them? Would roasting preserve the enzymes?

I have had luck growing both Jalopinos and habinaro peppers in Sask. Canada

Excellent Video

I have a theory; If you do not rinse with cold water after scolding the peppers they will contain warmer/hotter fluids. This way they will freeze faster (higher temperature water freezes faster than cooler) and the texture will be better preserved rather than having 'mushy' peppers once you thaw them for use.

Don’t they get mushy when you take them out of the freezer?

Blanching is not required prior to freezing with a pepper. I don't know of anything that is more freezer friendly than a pepper.

Should you immediately put them in the freezer bag when they are still wet and then immediately in the freezer, or let them air dry first before putting in the freezer bag?

Is blanching necessary? They are hot peppers! Just like they keep bugs away, I think the same goes for fungus and bacteria.

Are the seeds still viable after freezing?

Common sense would tell you hot water does not freeze faster than cold water just to let you know Daniel Mahoney. when a vegetable is frozen fresh it doesn't take long and then whenever you pull it out a month or so later it will not be mushy because it wasn't sitting in liquid water it was frozen... Just sayn.

Question is will the retain their heat after being frozen??

Good video but unfortunately the enzymes in the peppers are just inhibited not dead
