I don't know about you, but I seem to have a ton of peppers all ready at one time and can't eat them all! Here is a way to freeze them properly to be used at a later date.
Rinse thoroughly.
WEAR YOUR GLOVES!!! Your skin can become burned if you don't. Cut tops to reveal seeds inside. Remove all seeds and cut seeds off the stem top. Save these for your chickens if you have them. They love peppers/seeds!
Place the tops back on the peppers and lay them out on a pan.
Place pan in the freezer for 1-2 hours, until frozen solid.
Remove from freezer and place in a sealed bag and label. Peppers will last in the freezer 4-5 months. Be careful to put them where they will not have anything laying on top of them, so they won't crack or split.
When you are ready to use them to make chili rellenos or roasted chilis of some sort, move them to the refrigerator to thaw completely before starting your favorite recipe.
