This is a great idea for freezing peppers. Tip-If there is liquid in anything you are vacuum sealing, put a clean paper towel folded to about a half inch on top of the food you are vacuum sealing and then seal it. It forms a barrier & absorbs the liquid, so it seals and does not affect the food in any way. We do this for our fish .

Roasting some and preserving them in olive oil is also an alternative

A great way to save vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, squash etc....(and I learned this from an old Appalachia grandma)....is to freeze them in water. She said the freeze process will actually suck water out of vegetables, which in turn makes them slimey and mushy when thawed. But if you put them in a freezer bag submerged in water and freeze them solid, they retain all their water and last much longer, so when thawed they are not mushy.

lots of peppers for lots of meals. Nice harvest.

Hi..... Evan, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

Excellent idea, thank you!

Thx for sharing! Excellent advice 👍

Sitting pretty on a bunch of peppers . Looking good for winter time 👍😎🌶

Great idea!!!!! Thanks!

The peppers look awesome and what a harvest. Congratulations

Roasting and adding to other ingredients for a lacto fermented hot sauce is amazing

nice idea with the fajitas. i like roasting them and peeling the skins, then freezing that. that way all you have to do is heat them up

Instead of buying a vacuum sealer, I use zip lock bags with a drinking straw in the very corner to suck the air out. I will not give you a full 100% but enough for storing peppers.

Great job !! The peppers look awesome !! I usually take my bells and onions and fry them with butter, then freeze them in small glad lock containers.

I've cut them up the size I want and layer not touching on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and freeze them. Then I put quickly put them in vacuum sealing bags and seal them. It helps to keep them like individual pieces frozen instead of all stuck together. You can whack the bag on the counter and shake up what you want without defrosting all of them.

We have always felt freezing Bell Peppers gives bitter after taste after freezing, do you have same issue?

Add onions to some and you've got your fajita vegetables. Add mushrooms and onions to some and you have steak sandwich topping. Add mushrooms water chestnuts and green onion and you have stir fry vegetables. As long as you have enough vacuum bags, you're going to have plenty of variety. Just label them clearly.

Why did you freeze them and not can them. Freezing is great as long as they stay frozen. So what happens to your total harvest of frozen peppers when you loose power for an extended period of time. Lost all lost. Did you save the seeds?

I am going back and watching videos. I like to pickle and can the red ones and use like pimentos. I also dehydrate some the rest go into the freezer.

can peppers be canned liked tomatoes in a Jar ? I have lots of new jars thought maybe .. I have a bushel to do any help out there

Great job. When you get ready to use them are they watery and do they have the same taste?

Can i use plastic containers?

It's 2020 as as of right now our garden bounty is going to be beyond belief. But as am looking at this beautiful garden a message came. A strong one. Saying we better LEARN TO SHARE with our community if we want future bumper crops. However, My Old man is the greediest, stingiest, meanest human on planet earth. Now what?

Looks good. I see you are starting to get quite a few subs too. Keep it up!

Do they have to be vacuum packed

Very nice color full papers nice vedio I once freez my papers when I was ready to use it all turned mushy and watery so how can I freez that would come out like fresh ( I don't have electric air sealer )

Pepper relish. Use your cutoff scraps and dice small. Easy to preserve by canning.

Can plant plants at different times too.

Thank you! I've been V-sealing most of my gardens produce but noticed after a couple months in the freezer some of the packages had air in them. I didn't know why...now I know it's due to moisture during the sealing process. Game changer =)

So when you go to use one, Do you just let it thaw and then cut them up (if needed) and cook?

I’ve watched Suttonsdaze pressure can bell peppers. Clears up the freezer.

Roast and can them with roasted garlic and onion water bath and preserve a lovely sauce spread. see country view acres for the full video enjoy and impressed wit your harvesting methods.

Do you wash the peppers before you freeze and vacuum seal them?

What about onions you don’t like onions right lol jk. Awesome sauce I get peppers for free I’m so bless but I do pay forward with food. I go to churches for food they know me it’s been three years straight now ever since I broke my leg and yes unfortunately I loss my leg lol I’m a amputee I can laugh right lol, I don’t know why it’s funny zombie 🧟‍♀️ I’m gonna get you I scare the shit out of my nieces and nephews but this Coronavirus had to mess that up now I’m really bored I guess I will have a mission now my goal is to freeze everything I get all the veggies and then give them to my old neighbor all my friends are old lol why is this funny for me again idk but I love my neighborhood and I know they love me cause I have gift baskets hanging on my fence once in a while; I wonder how many times have they got stolen cause I’ve seen them outside sometimes and I don’t get someone’s taking them lol. My neighbors buy me food too man I’m bless and then the state of Texas is gonna help me with $48,000 for a prosthetic leg and electrical wheelchair I just want to say thanks to all the tax payers lol everyone even that fat kid buying ice cream at Exxon thank you to for everything is taxable. I’ll stop cause I can write a whole book that no one would want to read lol.

Do frozen bell peppers, once thawed, taste the same uncooked as they do fresh? I only like uncooked bell peppers as a snack or in salad.

How do you keep them crispy?

Aww..and I thought planting 500 was not many...☺😎🤔

Ps...how long do they last if you vacuum seal...??☺🤔🇦🇺

What if I don't posses an air vacuum?

What do you do when you are ready to use them? Do you defrost them by putting them in the fridge hours before you need them, or maybe run cool water over the packets? What works best for you? Or can you just chop/dice them and use them frozen in your recipe? Thanks!

I’m confused, I thought peppers changed colors based on their maturity and age on a plant. You said you “planted” different colored peppers?

I think they’ll become mushy when you defrost them.

Isn't that how you get food poisoning - by freezing food, defrosting it, re-freezing it and then defrosting it again before eating it?

Why not dehydrate them, much less space needed for storage!

All the parts you throw away we make winter soup with them , not the seeds and stalk , one or two Peblano to add to the heat , waste not want not

You seem worried about the colors and the amounts too much. Don't be sad.
