Ingredients

  • 6-8 fresh jalapenos

Instructions

  • Begin by selecting your jalapenos. Remove any debris and trim off any bad parts or long stems. Wash well and pat dry.
  • Decide what size and shape want your peppers to be. I like to do a variety for different uses, from whole peppers to minced.
  • Using gloves, slice your peppers carefully. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and place in the freezer to flash freeze for one hour. This will help the peppers not stick together, once they are place in bags.
  • Remove frozen jalapenos from the tray and place in jars or freezer bags. Seal well and place in the freezer for up to one year.
