Freeze Peppers tips

A few tips on how to freeze peppers:

Canned roasted peppers, which have been continually refrigerated, are stored for between 1 to 2 months.    For some more prolonging the shelf life of opened canned roasted peppers, freeze them, freeze canned roasted peppers, put inside sealed airtight containers or heavy-duty zip lock bags.

Freezing sweet or moderate or bell peppers requires basic steps: extract the stems, seeds and membranes; cut them however you wish, then place on a tray such that they do not touch each other; freeze until solid, then switch to a freezer-safe zip-top bag with all the air squeezed out or to a vacuum-sealed container.

Whether you can conserve the room in your fridge, freeze those entire peppers, too. Only break off the top of the peppers and drop the hearts. Instead ice the tops and the peppers individually, then move them to the freezer bags until they are frozen.

Peppers are one of those products that you can easily freeze raw without first cooking. Thawed, frozen peppers often maintain their crispness and may be used in fried or frozen dishes.

You may freeze cooked peppers and onions that have either been blanched or boiled, for a few minutes to retain the snap. The method operates equally good on peppers and onions that have been fried for a long time before caramelized. You can cook and freeze peppers and onions individually or in combination.

Storing roasted peppers in the refrigerator is perfect for short-term storage, depending on how you store them, they'll remain fresh for up to 2 weeks. Hold leftovers in an airtight bag in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days. When you brush them with a little wax, they'll remain fresh for up to 2 weeks.
