Can I freeze these veggies from my Garden?

Question

I have a Garden for the first time in my life, it is doing well. Can I freeze Zuccini, Jalapeno, and Bannana Peppers? If so do I have to cut them up, is there a certain time frame I should stick to when freezing? I wanted the Jalapeno's for winter which is about 6 months away, for Chili. I am really new to this so any info would be much appreciated, Thanks!

Answer 1

You can freeze all of that stuff and they will be fine for the winter. You should cut them into pieces. None of them will be crunchy though but kind of watery/mushy so you'll probably have to use all of the stuff for cooking not just the jalapenos.

Answer 2

Peppers freeze really well--just cut them up (any size from sliced to diced--just make them the size that you will want them to be in the dish you are cooking) and put them in freezer bags. Same goes for the zuccini--just cut them sorta thickbecause they can get mushy when thawed--if they are not kinda thick, they will fall apart. Congratulations on a job well done!

Answer 3

Yes you can freeze all of those veggies.Cut them up if you like and put in freezer bags for later use.You can also leave the peppers whole if you want. They should be washed,dried and cut up(or left whole) then put in freezer as soon as possible after picking.

Answer 4

Yes, you can freeze them. Clean and cut in pieces the size you need and seal in a freezer zip lock bag. Be sure to press as much air out as you can. Good luck.

Answer 5
