Freezing Homemade Diced Chili Peppers

We have been getting a lot of rain, thunderstorms, and even a very close to us tornado warning. The last storm took down several of our tomato plants.

You know that saying "if life gives you lemons...?"

Well, life gave us mislabeled red bell peppers, and we ended up with Anaheim peppers. Literally.

In July of last year, I made homemade chili peppers from our home grown Anaheim peppers, and they were delicious. They are very easy to make too.

I made them again, but this time we are freezing them. I just used my muffin pan to freeze 2 oz. portions, and then popped them out of the muffin paper (used parchment for this batch), and then placed them all in a freezer bag until I use them for meals.

Did you know that when you drain a purchased 4 oz. can of diced chili beans, you end up with about 2.5 ounces of actual diced chili peppers?

I just open my freezer bag of pre-frozen, 2 oz. chili peppers, thaw them, and add them to any meal I am wanting to use them for. Canning these peppers is also an option, but we do not have enough harvest this year.

Question

I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.

But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year. It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin. My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it! He joked I could not have it back. I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned: horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it. I then made horsetail salve. I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal. I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe). We'll see if ours works just as good. I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year. I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year. They a...

The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with. I made a salad and cleaned the beans. The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so. The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract. It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling. I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time. Update soon. Chit Chat © August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
