How to Freeze Hot Peppers

You could just slice your peppers and freeze them, but I have several recipes that call for a can of green chilis, so I fix my peppers up this way to use in those recipes instead of buying a can of chilis.

I grow anaheim peppers, but this would work with any hot pepper.  Be careful when you work with hot peppers.  The seeds can burn.  Wear plastic gloves to be safe.

Just cut them up into small pieces, then put them in a pan and cover them with water.  I take the seeds out – you can leave them in if you like spicier.  Boil them until they change color and are tender.

After they cool down a little, pour them into ice cube trays.  Freeze, then take out of trays and put into freezer bags.
