We only have 2 people in my household so I didn't need a 15 minute tutorial on how to freeze huge quantities of peppers. Thank you for a simple way for a simple girl and I look forward to watching more of your videos if they are anything like this one. I just subscribed!
Wow oh wow, I never thought of using a straw to create my own vac & seal. Thanks for sharing that tip
Short, sweet and informative. Thanks Kim.
Beautiful, and we'll explained you also looked good while doing it so made it more intriguing
This is a really cool tutorial. I’m going to start freezing my peppers. 👍🏻
Sorry I didn't watch this when you first posted but in a zone 5 garden the peppers have been gone for 3 months now. After watching your pepper jelly video I had to come and take a look. Hoping that next summer I'll have a good pepper harvest and room in the freezer to try this. I already do this with tomatoes, don't know why I never tried it with peppers. Thank you for the video!
Very informative video and a nice tip. Thank you for sharing.
Love your manual way of vacum sealing.
Super cool tip and trick at the end 👍👍👍!!
Pepper Jelly is my favorite
Thanks for the teaching Lady
didn't know that cheap method of vacuuming, and didn't know about freezing peppers. I have lots of ghost peppers I can now freeze. Thanks!
Kim,
I Can't wait for that new pepper jelly recipe! I've been squirreling away jalapeno and sweet peppers all year long. I wash & core them as I get them on sale here, and shove them in the freezer. I have a shelf full, and, will be making pepper jelly within the next several weeks. Your recipe is right on time, as I have been concerned with the high sugar content.
My Tabasco harvest took off after the brutal summer heat started dying down. I had to spray for a bad aphid infestation, but, once that was under control, the plants took off. I've been fully loaded on 5 six-foot-tall pepper plants, at least four times now. This weekend will be my final harvest, then, I'm ripping the plants. Cold front moving in and will take them down. Also, I'm ready to plant something else in that space.
P.S. I've been dehydrating all those peppers, then, grinding them into spice powder. Awesome-ness sprinkled on the plate!
Hugs!
Just what I needed to start saving on food. 💕
Thanks for tip. So easy!
FINALLY!! I can only buy Jalapenos on trays of 5. I really only use 1 at a time. This tip is really going to help. Thank you so much.
awesome update thank you for sharing and blessing
Found some bogo at the grocery store and this is exactly what I needed to find. Thanks
👍 up
Another way to remove air from the bag is to use a large container of water. Seal the bag most of the way (like you did in this video) and the slowly lower the bag into the water. The water will displace the air from the bag and then you can close the bag. Voila! vacuum sealed bag. :D
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing your tip!
mthlay15 Nice! Does the water have to be hot? Or does it work any better if it is?
@@Banana-lk7tf Tap water works for me regardless of temperature!
@@Banana-lk7tf It’s the water pressure that forces the Air out.
Good tip, thanks!
great video and I love your pepper,s looks like you got a really good harvest iam going to tranceplant my peppers into my garden I like to do all kinds of things with my peppers I bake them in the oven in the winter and in the summer I put them on the grill
Thanks for the help! This is my first year growing peppers haha, I grew some habaneros, hungarian wax peppers and some sweet peppers. I pickled my first jar of wax peppers the other night, Think im gonna freeze the rest of them and my habaneros.
I definitely needed that straw trick! Thanks for this!! 💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾
enjoyed your video kim I have been getting pepper,s on my pepper plant I have three plants I think iam going to make pepper jelly really soon
I love growing peppers. I like making salsa out of mine. I will have to try your recipe. Sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing your garden tips. :)
Hi Pam, they are so much fun to grow, like flowers in the garden to me. So beautiful! I love making salsa out of mine too. What do you like to put in yours? Look for a new and improved pepper jelly recipe video coming out this weekend - it is just so yummy, my mouth is watering now. Thank you for watching!
Great idea thanks 😃
love pepper jelly!
Genius , using the straw is really a genius idea, thank u
Thanks for the tip pretty lady gonna freeze my peppers next week thanks for the video 👍
Wonderful! I love the straw trick to get rid of excess air! Thank you for sharing 😃
thanks for that Kim!
Great tip. Never thought about freezing them whole. Now, tip time. I buy fresh pork shoulder butts @ $2.88 and grind my own sausage. Put in Tyme and sage from the garden. So now, I have some pretty inexpensive sausage. I buy family pack beef arm steaks @ $2.88 a pound also and grind my own lean ground beef. I pack them as close to one pound each. When I just have one or 2 bags to vacuum seal, the straw method works great. However, when I have all these bags of pork, beef or vegetables, I fill one side of my sink full with cold water. With my baggies ready to seal, I slowly immerse them in the water which pushes all the air out. When I have the bag submerged right to the top being careful not to let water in the baggy, I zip it shut!! I like to use the freezer bags with the little zipper on them as I am able to close them much faster.
Thanks, Kim!!
My goodness Kim, them peppers!!! So awesome! Love this method and been using it for 2season already! Thank you!!!
Thanks, Rod. Love your peppers too - enjoy the cooler weather this week!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY Thanks a bunch Kim and you guys enjoy it as well! :)

That’s a good tip

The straw trick 👍🏼
Got it! Thx!!!
Wow, amazing video
Thank you very much!
Beautiful
Great tip for a DYI vacuum bag using a straw.
Ya I like the straw trick beets trying to suck out the air with your mouth on the bag lol :) My lettuce is doing great now :) It is not as sweet as I would like think that it got into the 80 a few days could that have made it bitter? I'm trying to let it get as much sun as I can but I might have to cover it next time. Thanks for sharing! :)
Good one !!
Glad you liked it, thanks!
Genius!!!
wonderful!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice tip to freeze peppers. Is there any specific way to defrost these to avoid being watery when want to use ?
Thaw them in a sieve
great vacuum seal

Thank you Kim,Really ,that's it to freezing peppers?No blanching?....A gift for your friend may be a good kanabis plant or seeds?..Great job on your video.TY73s
I like the idea of the white vinegar to wash the peppers. I'm going to start doing this for all my harvest. Thanks Kim
Hello Rick - it it a great way to stop any buggers that are on your harvest dead in their tracks. Are you ready for another livestream?
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY yes, your last one was full size and the volume was good too. Look forward to seeing you.
Glad to hear it, Rick! Thanks for your patience as we work out the kinks. We hope to schedule one this weekend, on Sunday afternoon. Stay tuned for a YT notification about it confirming time. I'll also post when we are doing one on Instagram (instagram.com/calikim29) and on my Facebook page (facebook.com/CaliKimGardenandHomeDIY/). See you there!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY remember don't do it during the football games, just kidding. I have learned a lot from you and Luke and other garders. Being a disabled veteran my doctor said to start a garden and get a dog.
+Rick Buisson good point about the football game. Being that I'm not a big fan, didn't even think of that. Will check the schedule to see if we can work around it as best we can. Never stop learning - I learn so much from everyone here too. Garden and dog is a terrific combo!
Thanks for sharing. How long will the peppers last in your freezing method?
l like pepers. Good job!!Have a wonderful evening!
They are the best, aren't they? Hope you're evening is wonderful as well! Thanks for stopping by!
I have a food saver, I can just use that instead of the straw method. Besides it might be a bit of work, but I think it'd be great if you mixed the peppers, or whatever produce you're doing, with seasoning as well as the paired meat to go with it as for quick and easy meal
Great idea for a quick meal. The food saver is a handy tool to have around too! Enjoy!
Will the peppers get soft & mushy from freezing at all?? We have a vacuam sealer so that will work good. Thanks for sharing.
Hi from merry old England can i chop them before using your freezing method?
If you do a lot of freezing (and you haven't already bought one)? I recommend buying a vacuum sealer and a couple rolls of bags. One 8" and one 11" covers 99.9% of my needs. They come in 150 foot rolls.
Foodsaver is the most popular brand, but I find them overpriced and poor quality which seems to get worst each year. There's lots of cheaper ones (around $50). You just need to search for the features you need. Being able to manually start and stop is good for not crushing food, and having a 'port' for a Ball Jar attachment is really handy for marinades and long term jar storage.
Thanks for the video! I've got a bunch of Jalapeno peppers for about ten pounds of summer sausage I'm going to make, but I'm not quite ready to start.
GREAT ideas and suggestions; thank you!!! Sounds like you do a lot out there, Oregon!! Thanks for watching and dropping the suggestion. Very much appreciated. CK
My cubanelle peppers are out growing my other peppers & I didn’t know what to do with them before this video, thank you so much. Just a quick question, does freezing peppers change the texture of them like bananas? I’m not a fan of mushy peppers, I like them to have a snap to them.
About how long will they last freezing them this way?
I froze my jalapeño peppers last year and when I went to use them the seeds had turned black and the peppers didn’t taste very good. Do you have any tips on what I perhaps did wrong or advice so that doesn’t happen again this year?
But won't the peppers get mushy when they are thawed, unless they're blanched first?
I tried this and the when I went to use the peppers the seeds were all brown and nasty. Peppers were really mushy. Not sure if or what I did wrong. Please help.
LOL! Glad you like it!! Kim
How can I stop from big sweet peppers from making water when taken out the freezer
Can someone help me with a question? I froze a few jalapeños using my vacuum packer. About 30 days later I took them out and defrosted them. They were soggy. So soft that I had to throw away. What did I do wrong?
They'll overwinter??? Where? I live near Detroit (Windsor), can't imagine they'd survive. BTW, I've grown some peppers and I'm not sure what they are and when I should harvest them. They look like Banana peppers but they're much larger (6.5"). The place I bought them had them labelled as "Thai Dragon Peppers" but they're clearly not.
Cut off the top 3” of a plastic water bottle. Heat the screw on cap and push a straw through it. Place the open end over the back of a hair dryer, turn it on and you have a suction device to suck the air out of your bags! Ta-da!
Won't they get mushy when you thaw them?
make sure to wear gloves if cutting hot peppers , especially if you keep your nails short. I learned this the hard way , took a week for my thumb to stop burning. thanks for your video it helped me a lot !
Thank you I was like.. this is so not necessary cutting more peppers after I spent hours prepping other stuff.. still had a whole bag.. I said nope not today just gonna freeze em and defrost them then prep them when ready!!!!!!!!!
I'm so sorry but Several of my friends have tried this and it completely failed. Does anyone have a full proof way to freeze jalapeños? Thank you and I hope it works for the rest of you 🙏
Marie
good day ms Kim can you give me some advice because my peppers always attacks by aphid's and some pest insects
Spray your plants with NEEM Oil Concentrate. Early in the season, my peppers were getting black "soot" on them. Upon careful inspection, I had an infestation of aphids which were being "herded" by ants. I mixed up a batch of NEEM and literally drenched the plants, over and (especially) under all the leaves. In about three days, all the aphids were dead!
Also, this season, I learned (I believe from MIgardener) about mixing a stronger concoction of the NEEM for this type of spraying. I have a 2-gallon sprayer, and added 3 Tbs. per gallon of the NEEM oil, for a total of 6 Tbs. Didn't hurt the plants at all, and truly knocked those aphids into submission.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for this comment, I love UA-cam....so many people share such great knowledge! Hoping I don't have to use this but if the situation arises I'll be blessing you (and MIgardener).
thank you
Thanks much for the tip cause I hate wasting the homegrown jalapenos, and also you are quite a spicy pepper yourself, 😉👍
Can i use the tips from the Pepper Pruning video for all types of peppers? I have Datil, Giant Chinese bells, and Festival peppers.
yes, it works with all types. I forgot to mention in the video that pruning will also help them to push out leaves to the side, giving them a lower center of gravity so they are sturdier plants and can hold up to the wind better. All around a benefit! Thanks for watching.
tank learn
😍
I'd love to make some pepper jam with you anytime.😉
Not as quick,but I mix my peppers up ,clean them and put through a food processor.I freeze that in small,1 cup containers.1 cup per chili, spaghetti sauce or meatloaf
That's great!!! Keep it going! CK
Beware... I used this freezer method and my peppers turned dark and mushy when thawed. I wasted about 100 peppers from my harvest......

You must be in California or Florida because there's no way peppers will overwinter in most of the US
"Cali"Kim ...
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY lol....in the name, got it.🫣
Zuigen kan ze wel
Frozen peppers will never be “fresh “ again. You just use these in cooked foods. I take them out and cut them while nearly frozen. I pat them dry and sauté them or add them to cooked dishes like meat loaf.
Ugggghhh, why do Americans insist on calling things by the wrong name?
They're not peppers, they're chilli's mate.
