To prepare frozen peppers, put them in a freezer-safe container, freeze them for two to three months, then resew them with frozen peas or potatoes. [substeps] A full freeze-dried pepper can last for three to four months. To preserve the exact taste of pepper blanched by freezing with the skin off, thoroughly wash and slice fresh peppers and the core before placing them in the freezer. [substeps] Be very careful when handling frozen peppers as they can contain oils, which can greatly affect the flavor of the peppers as they are still frozen.
