Preserving and Using your Harvest - EZ Pepper Freezing 

I was in the pizza business for two decades and we used to fill a large chest freezer with bell peppers while they were in season. Great idea. I know this is not a new comment, but your videos are first rate. Based on your experience, I'm trying watermelons next year. Oh, and I've now got baking soda and vinegar in the bath. I'll try it out this week! Thanks for the great tips!

I figured this out at the end of my harvest season last summer. It works WONDERFULLY!!! wish I would of know of it sooner. Thank you.

I just harvested Jimmy Nardellos, some New Mexico #6s (very mild heat) and red bells! I wasn't sure how to freeze the Nardellos (my first year growing them) so finding your video was timely and very helpful!

Thanks for the tips, Kim!

Nice tip Kim, can't wait for my first harvest here in Chicago.

I do this same thing, the scissors do come in handy. Mmm gotta love those peppers!

I generally just throw the whole peppers in a ziploc and stick them in the freezer--they never have stuck together (unless you forget to put the bag back in the freezer and they all thaw out, but I usually just toss those if that happens, or find a way to use them pureed or something). Then I can pull them out and use them--I usually am just grating some over my own plate of food, since my husband doesn't like things as spicy as I do. They taste just like fresh! I do like to roast and freeze both sweet and hot peppers though, and I like your tip about freezing them on the tray so they don't all clump together--I will use that from now on when I do roasted peppers. Thanks!

Awesome kim I have never tried to freeze them but will if I have a good harvest this season

The tip will be used a lot this year in my garden. I always hated how the peppers clumped together. Thanks for sharing the tip.

Thanks for the tip Kim!!! I had always used a knife. Scissors are so much easier!

Kim, great video, I will try this with our pepper harvest, thank you

Love the tip. Thank you Kim.

Oh my gosh... When you said you make Pepper Jelly, my mouth started watering... Pretty please share a video of how you make it :) Thanks!

Great tip thanks for sharing. I am getting more bell peppers than I need. I have been giving a lot of them away. I think I will freeze some up now. I hope to see a video on the pepper jelly.

Hi Kim! That is the way I freeze my peppers. They last a long time in the freezer that way. I use your straw trick that I seen on a previous video. I should be doing my first major pepper harvest in a couple of weeks. I am going to try my hand at pickling peppers. Are those long red peppers, Jimmy Nardello's? That is one I may try my hand at next season. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

Wow!! So many helpful tips in such a short video!!:) Many Thanks!.....off to the garden I go!

Love your videos Kim....pepper jelly?!! I need that recipe! Have a great day :)

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you for the great tips! ❤️❤️🙏❤️

Great tip with freezing them on a cookie sheet. Cool.

I'm totally the guy who takes the bag out of the freezer and has to smash it on the counter top to break the mess loose! Haha thanks for the cookie sheet tip, that will make life easier and less noise when I need some peppers. ;)

Kim, I just picked a 5 gallon bucket full of peppers yesterday and did not know what to do with them. We could never eat them that fast. Great advice and timing! _Jeff

I have got to get another freezer.. I am running out of room. When the pepper thaw are they usually soggy? Excellent tip on freezing them on a baking sheet first. If i had room i would do that =) Thanks for sharing.
