Gerry is on one of his dirt bike riding adventures to the Hatfield McCoy Trails in West Virginia. He left Thursday afternoon and will return on Sunday. On Thursday I decided it was time to harvest my Big Jim New Mexican peppers. After reading several sites on line, I decided to roast them on the grill, remove the peel and seeds and freeze them. The first obstacle was that the grill gas tank was empty. I had never watched Gerry carefully when he changed it in the past. But he gave me directions by phone and I was successful.
I layered the peppers on plastic wrap and then rolled the whole thing up and put it in a plastic bag. Supposedly that way you can just unwrap as much as you need for whatever you are cooking. I did not think they had a real "bite" but after doing all the work with my bare hands, the did burn. Aloe Vera came to the rescue.

I can't wait to get a hold of some of those roasted peppers this Christmas!
freeze them in small batches, so you can use the single serving as needed!
Or you just take out a frozen chunk and whack off the amount you want and put the rest back in the freezer.
Mmmmm. i can't wait to see the posts about what you cook with them!
