Thanks.


It will not be a good method for habaneros. You will have to pressure
can them for a long time and they will turn to mush.

But here's how to do it if you really want to try:

It seems to be mostly aimed at thick-fleshed peppers rather than
thin-fleshed peppers like habaneros.

IMHO freezing ruins peppers.

You don't freeze them for eating fresh, you freeze them for cooking
with. Especially habaneros because they are so hot.
