Nice haul!! What kinds are they and do you do anything special to them to freeze them?

The variety is Aristotle. I clean and slice them to strips, then spread them out on a sheet to dry for an hour or so before bagging them. By letting them dry for awhile, they seem to keep higher quality in the freezer, longer.

Good tip on the freezing procedure.

Looks nice! Lots of peppers for the winter

Never thought of letting them dry before freezing. Makes sense!! Thanks for the tip.
