HELP - too many chipolte peppers

[Guest guest]

I do NOT need recipes, I need storage ideas.

 

 

 

I needed a (1, ONE) chipotle pepper for a new chili recipe that I am going

to try out - attributed to Heather Mills (from the weekly Meatout Mondays -

The grocery store sells them in packages of about 20. Any suggestions for

freezing? Dehydrating? Etc.

i transfer the remaining chipotles from the can to a glass jar & keep it in the

fridge.

What I do with regular chilies, Maida, is simply to freeze them, flat on a plate

so they don't stick together, then bag them. I don't see why this wouldn't work

for chipotles too. I do keep chipotles in the fridge in a jar for quite a while,

but my next lot I'm going to split half in the fridge and half in the freezer

and see which I prefer for storage. Of course, chilies frozen lose their

crispness (and then some) but aftet they're cooked that doesn't much matter

anyway.

 

Love and hugs, Pat

Thanks, Pat. I am starting with raw/fresh chilis, so this should work.
