I use a lot of frozen peppers Frohe. They're readily available in the
freezer
section of the major grocers. They usually package a combination of red,
green and yellow pepper strips. When bells are in season, I sometimes
buy a few and freeze them my self. I simply wash them good, then
seed, devein and cut into ~1/2" strips. Then I vacuum pack them for
freezing. I've began to repackage most of the stuff that I buy at the market
as well. I otherwise lose too much stuff to freezer burn.
