How to freeze peppers
I love peppers fresh from the farmers market. I use them in all sorts of recipes and love to eat them cut up with ranch dressing. This year though I found some good prices on peppers and decided to freeze them so I have access to them all winter long. This article will give you instructions on how to freeze peppers storing them in vacuum pack bags

INSTRUCTIONS
- To start go to your local farmers marker and purchase several peppers. Make sure they are in good condition by no bruises or bad spots. Look for ripe peppers.
- Split them in half cut off the stem. Next, wash the peppers to get the inside stem off and the seeds.
- Cut the peppers into strips or pieces depending on how you like them.
- Put freezer paper on cookie sheet then lay out the peppers on the cookie. Repeat this process till all peppers are on the cookie sheets.
- Place cookie sheets in freezer and let the peppers freeze solid..By doing this the peppers will be easier to separate from each other. This will take several hours.
