| Green Pepper Strips ready for the freezer! (File Photo) |
It's time!! Time to freeze Green Pepper strips and chunks! For quite a few years it's been a tradition with me to purchase the fresh local Green Peppers and prep them for the freezer. No, I don't freeze the whole Pepper, I cut each Pepper into strips or chunks- discarding the pulp and seeds. Then, the strips/ chunks are packaged into sandwich bags. The closed sandwich bags are placed into freezer bags, labeled and into the freezer they go. In the colder months it's great to reach into my freezer and take out a sandwich bag of prepared Green Peppers to add to an entree while preparing it.
One day (a few years ago) I noticed that packaged frozen cut Green Peppers were located in the freezer department of a local grocery store. In the summer this vegetable is plentiful at the local farm stands in my area. So, the following summer I decided to freeze my own to use! I learned it worked very well and it was not difficult to do.
Purchase some fresh Green Peppers and prep them for your freezer. Prepping a few at a time works well!

In the colder months you will be able to reach into your freezer and take out a small bag rather than purchasing a Green Pepper in the grocery store.
Enjoy!
Yummy!
