Yes, assuming you use approved canning recipes that are properly acidified and processed, the frozen peppers are safe to use.

Dave

Sure you can!
I wouldn't use them in things like Habanero Gold where you'd want "pretty pieces" of pepper that show, but in anything cooked, I wouldn't hesitate a minute!

I freeze my cilantro for my salsa because the darned stuff is ready months before the tomatoes and peppers!

Frozen hot peppers are also good for regular cooked dishes (not canned) like enchiladas, soups, spaghetti sauce, etc.

Enjoy them!

Deanna

Measuring will be different.
I don't know if these are whole, chopped already or what, but try to measure them while still frozen as they'll measure closer to "fresh" than if you allow them to thaw, then pack them in.

Deanna

Thanks for the speedy replies! I'm going to try Salsa Verde from the Bernardin Complete Book of Home Preseving. I'll get to use up the hot peppers & the green tomatoes.

Although I agree with Deanna regarding use in jelly from an aesthetic perspective, from a taste perspective it makes no difference. I make many pepper jellies using frozen peppers.

FWIW,

Bill

Very true, Bill. I was only talking aesthetics. Safety...no problem!!

And I sure as heck would use before losing them too!

Thanks for the clarification.
Deanna

No worries Deanna.

I didn't think of how my response could have been interpreted with respect to safety concerns. I knew (from past posts) that safety would not be an issue it's but good you pointed it out as the OP may not have known.

What I really meant to communicate was taste and texture would not be adversely affected if using for jelly. Heck, I like Hab Gold enough I don't really care what it looks like ;-))

Bill

Agreed! I eat alot of 'strange' looking things as long as they taste good. I don't cook for a fancy restaurant and I'm fortunate that DH is also more concerned with flavor!

That should be some kickin' Salsa Verde, dynamo!!

Deanna

I made it tonight Deanna and I'm happy with the results. Great use for green tomatoes. Thanks for everyone's input.

Will you post your recipe?
I've got about 10-15 lbs. of 'greenies' that I need to do something with this weekend! I'm the only one that likes them fried. Even then, 10 lbs. of fried tomatoes is an awful lot!
I've already made sweet relish, green tomato bread and given a few away.
I just can't stand to waste them........I'm kind of a sucker that way. (GRIN)

Deanna

If you have a lot of green tomatoes, then slice and can for later fried green tomatoes
