Roasted red peppers do really well in the freezer. . . much less work than jarring them! In small freezer ziplock bags, place two pepper halves in each bag. I pack them this way because I only use a few roasted red peppers at a time. I place the cooled off peppers directly into the plastic bags, Wash peppers and cut in half. Place upside down (skin side up) on a cookie sheet coated with olive oil spray.
