[QUOTE="beccagirl06, post: 1985934, member: 722188"] I slice and freeze bell peppers when they are on sale to use for cooking. Its really simple. Wash them, remove seeds and slice, cut into rings, or dice. If you plan on using them in uncooked food, just freeze at this point. If you are going to use them in heated food you can blanch the pepper halves for 3 minutes in boiling water, followed by ice water. Freeze them individually on a cookie sheet, before putting into a plastic freezer bag. If you just throw them in a bag, they tend to clump. I tend to just freeze all of my peppers without blanching. It keeps the texture better for stir fry that way, and I don't have to note which peppers are for what purpose. For onions, you can just store them in a cool dry place and they should last a couple of months. You can freeze them, though their flavor will be different after freezing. The main difference is how 'strong' the onions are. You may find you want to use more onions, or less onions after freezing. I think they are about the same though. [/QUOTE]
