TIP: Freeze Bell Peppers

Buy loads of bell peppers at a local Farmer's Market when they're in season! Wash and chop them (removing stem and seeds). Pat dry with a paper towel, then spread them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer for an hour. Use a spatula to then scoop the pieces into a gallon freezer bag. This method allows the pieces to freeze separately instead of as a big clump!

Your bell peppers will keep their color and texture all winter long. Not to mention you will have paid less and bought produce grown in your area instead of Mexico. They'll always be available to throw into soups, pizzas, pastas, omelets, etc!
