A couple of years ago I did a post on Freezing Summers Bounty. This is pretty much a repost/reminder  to you that you don’t have to eat all your CSA share in one week. You can easily freeze some and enjoy it in the winter when you are wishing for Summer vegetables.

To freeze roasted peppers you can just chuck them in the freezer in the bags we give them to you in. Sometimes I like to clean them and chop them so they are ready to throw in a pot of beans or stews. Either way it’s always nice to have a little stash of roasted peppers in the freezer to pull out in the winter.

You know those HUGE bell peppers we have been getting. You can freeze those too. Just seed them and cut them up.

Then spread them on a tray so they’re not touching each other and freeze until firm. You don’t want to just throw them in a bag or other container and freeze or you will have a huge pepper ice ball that won’t break apart.

When they are frozen hard transfer the them to a freezer-safe zip-lock bag or container with as much air pressed out as you can to prevent freezer burn. They take up a lot less room chopped up in a bag.

I love having these peppers stashed away for later. You can freeze celery and onions the same way. It just takes a few minutes and it is so handy to have.

Have a great week.
