For the time being. What do you think... care packages for the domestically challenged? Love to you both. ~J Rebecca, I’ve been drooling over your harvest posts… they have had the dangerous effect of making me yearn for domestic, kitchen-y activities instead of the prosaic bookish ones I have committed myself to.

What do you think… care packages for the domestically challenged?

Love to you both.

I've never done it myself, but I think it's possible it could work. I would try defrosting and then roasting one pepper, and see how it goes. The only thing I wonder about is how much the texture might have changed in the freezing process -- whether it might be a bit too delicate to peel, for example. Will you try it and tell us how it goes? I'm curious! Riana, I’m really not sure about roasting peppers after they’ve been frozen. I’ve never done it myself, but I think it’s possible it could work.

I have all sorts of ideas for food books... we shall see. And Maureen, yes, pack them in freezer containers of your choice (you can see I used glass jars). But whatever you use, make sure you leave enough headspace for the peppers to expand as they freeze. (For jars I think the standard is an inch for pints and an inch and a half for quarts.) Happy eating! Thank you Face Natural! I have all sorts of ideas for food books… we shall see.

Your recipes are keepers as we share a heart for fermented and traditional foods! I'm with you on freezing, not only does it save time and AC in the hot summer months but it also preserves the nutrients. Did you use anything to pack with your peppers or just peppers? Thanks so much. Diane Hi,
