Using frozen hot Peppers

13 years ago

I'm thinking about using some of the chopped frozen hot peppers I have in the freezer to make hot sauce. Yes, it's best to use fresh , which I will be doing too. However I have quite a number of quart bags in the freezer I want to use up.... Question is - should I up the quantity of peppers per batch than I'd be using if they were fresh picked. All suggestions welcome.

I usually use my chopped frozen peppers in soups, casseroles, etc, through out the winter, but I have way more frozen than I can use in cooking....

I made salsa with frozen (roasted and peeled) Poblanos the other day. Made it as if the peppers were fresh. I freeze whole pods though, not chopped.

Hi Sandy, I would use more, when I make hot sauce, it's more pepper than any other ingredient. To me it taste better when you have the more of the pepper flavor come through than any other flavor. The only other items I use is onion and garlic, some spices and acids such as lemon or lime but not so much to rob the sauce of its pepper flavor.
