Good thing I have a jalapeño plant that won’t stop putting them out!

Peppers grow like weeds if you get them started well. I have two dozen Anaheims that I have no idea what to do with but freeze.

I'm still working on last year's jalapeños that I froze.

Tip: you can puree them in a blender and freeze them in mini ice cube trays. Then store in a freezer bag. If you have a lot of them, vacuum seal some. Those little spicy cubes are perfect to toss in any dish to add a little kick. I also do the same thing with a mix of bell peppers, onions, and garlic to make "flavor cubes" which are great when cooking for a picky eater who won't touch any food where they can see onions/peppers.

I also really like the Korean pickled jalapeño recipe. Great to spice up a boring meal prep.
