I was so surprised when I read in a magazine that America's test kitchen found there was no sense in freezing peppers as they lost all their flavor. I am just a old lady in a tiny kitchen, I have trouble rolling out the crust for Apple Pie, Oh My Pie For A Crowd, because I have such limited counterspace. Who am I to disagree with them? However, I have frozen peppers for years and have been happy with the results.
I have asked growers at the Farmer's Market if they had trouble freezing peppers. All said they, too, froze peppers for the winter. Last week I met Jobey's at the Grand Haven Farmer's Market. She has a greenhouse and farm north of here in Norton Shores. She had beautiful Thai peppers. She told me that they were especially hot as they were Northern Thai peppers. I asked her how she dried them, thinking maybe I should try another way to store peppers. She told me that she didn't dry them. She just put them in a zip-lock plastic bag and stuck them in the freezer.
I say Jobey has the last word on freezing peppers. She says they freeze just fine.
