When frozen, I then place them into quart jars on my freezer door so I can grab a quick handful to toss into any dish I choose. If you don't freeze them before putting them into the jars then you will have a solid clump of peppers instead of individual pieces. I do the same thing with chopped onions. It isn't hard to chop two onions up as long as you have the knife and cutting board out. What a time saver for me.Shaunanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672416594180477909.post-70085553486730933042011-07-26T15:54:12.990-05:002011-07-26T15:54:12.990-05:00I like to keep bell peppers, onions and celery (al...I like to keep bell peppers, onions and celery (all chopped) in the freezer all year round. Besides saving money, it's a time saver!<br /><br />I also have a bag full of frozen whole tomatoes. I threw them in the freezer skin, core and all. I use them in soups, just toss them in frozen and fish out the hard core later. Or you can thaw them before using, the skins and core come right off!SD Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672416594180477909.post-78892279498773499912011-07-26T14:15:00.712-05:002011-07-26T14:15:00.712-05:00Hi Kat!

Generally I can tomatoes but this year I'm going to try dehydrating them also. I have heard about freezing tomatoes, but I've never tried it personally.<br /><br />EmilyThe Harried Homemakerhttp://theharriedhomemakerpreps.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672416594180477909.post-39931781461785090172011-07-26T14:12:16.860-05:002011-07-26T14:12:16.860-05:00Wow, thanks Emily.

I'm hoping I can do something similar with tomatoes as they are currently $12.99/kg here which is roughly $5/lb. Have you got any tomato preserving tips please?Kathttp://kat-makingthemostofit.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
