How to preserve peppers - Dehydrating and freezing methods

How to preserve peppers by dehydrating or freezing. Here I show how I process a lot of peppers for future use. There are several ways you can preserve your pepper harvest, but freezing or drying/dehydrating are two of the quickest.

I also show the importance of using a vacuum sealer after drying and before freezing. This preserves the peppers indefinitely for future use.

Most people will use their peppers throughout the season making sauces, powders, cooking, etc... When you harvest a bunch at once, it's hard, if not impossible, to use them properly before they go bad. Properly preserving them gives you time to decide what to do with them later. It's also nice to have fresh peppers to season or cook with, or make jellies, etc... throughout the winter months.
