I've always been lucky in that the military commissary sells them for
what I consider a reasonable price year round. Sometimes the red, yellow
and orange peppers are the same price as the green. We eat a LOT of
them, usually in fajitas. I love using the red ones for stuffed peppers
and roasted peppers. I just never bothered to freeze any.
I probably buy less of the green than any other color.

Has anyone seen the advertisement for the new "jarred" tomatoes from Del
Monte or tried them, the supposedly are good enough for fresh salads? I
can't imagine..? I wonder if they're packed in oil or something?
