I used the sandwich size ones and sucked/squeezed as much air out as I could manually. (You can get a good bit of air out if you sip it most of the way closed and then use a straw to suck air out of the little bit that's left open before closing it.) I sliced my jalapeños into rounds and filled the bags with as much as I'd use in a batch of chili. So far that has worked out really good and I just dump them right in and cook them. But since I use them straight from the bag I can't say haw they are thawed. But I did to some up to use for poppers. Cut them down the center and seeded them out. Since I roast/broil them with cheese they are also cooked but they turned out well. But I've not used any raw and thawed so not sure about that.

I then bag them up and freeze them. My jalepenos get pickled and canned.

A friend suggested putting them on a cookie sheet in the deep freezer and them vacuum seal them with a food saver.... has anyone tried this? What are they like when thawed? Is there a better way to keep them? Sat, 10 Nov 2007 18:19:57 GMT http://greenthumbs.tribe.net/thread/4b22762b-486d-4aeb-82c3-5ea7ac9badf4#fd4283ac-e120-4a08-b72b-e43a965f1a54 Tim 2007-11-10T18:19:57Z
