Default How do you use your excess bell peppers?

Drying or freezing will naturally lose the crunchiness.


Any good recipes that use a lot of them?


Will they turn red if you let them hang?


Peppers no longer continue to ripen once picked.

But if you pull the entire plant up by its roots and hang the plant
upside down in a paper bag the peppers already formed on the plant
will ripen somewhat more. Those perfect looking Holland peppers are
produced in a controlled environment as well. Most sold in the US are
produced in CA and FL.
