Wish I were in your shoes! Red peppers are so expensive here. Here are the recipes I would can if I could find cheap bell peppers: Shirley's taste-alike of Harry & David pepper and onion relish Linda Lou's roasted red pepper spread Just think it over. :-) Melissa Recipes: Pepper and Onion Relish, Harry & David style recipe by Shirley (shirleywny5) My last batch today is the last try at my H&D pepper,onion relish taste alike. I've made 4 batches of this already this season and I think I have got it about where I want it. If anyone is interested or even gives a dang, here is my recipe. I used my Cuisinart to chop all the peppers. Tomatoes were peeled, seeded and diced very small. The onion was diced using the Julienne blade of my V-slicer. 12 med Red bell peppers 10 jalapenos 5 assorted green, yellow or red hot peppers 5 large plum tomatoes 1 large onion. Any kind will do. 2 cups white vinegar 3 cups granulated sugar Remove seeds and white membrane from red peppers Remove HALF the seeds from the jalapenos Remove half the seeds from the other hots. Chop peppers in food processor Place in bowl with prepared tomatoes and onion. Sprinkle with 1 Tbls. canning salt. Let stand about 1 hour. Drain off liquid. I use my quart capacity strainer with a handle. The holes are smaller than my colander. You don't want any of the small pepper pieces falling through. Place peppers, onions and tomatoes in cooking pot and add sugar and vinegar. Cook over medium heat until thick as you like. Usually 30 or 45 minutes is plenty. You can almost tell by the texture. Ladle into jam jars and seal. Process 20 minutes in Hot water bath. Note: There was more discussion on this thread so if you have any questions let me know. For example, the red pepper skins stay on. Roasted Red Pepper Spread 6 lb. large red sweet peppers 1 lb. Roma tomatoes 2 large garlic cloves 1 small white onion 2 Tbsp. minced basil 1 Tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. coarse salt 1/2 cup red wine vinegar Roast peppers under broiler or on a grill at 425 degrees until skin wrinkles and chars in spots. Turn over and roast other side. Remove from heat.Place in a paper bag, secure opening, cool 15 minutes. Roast tomatoes, onion, and garlic under broiler or grill 10 - 15 minutes. Place tomatoes in a paper bag. Peel onion and garlic. Finely mince onion and garlic. Measure 1/4 cup and set aside. Peel and seed tomatoes and peppers. Puree in food processor or blender. Combine in a large pan.Bring to a boil over med.high heat, stir to prevent sticking. Reduce heat, simmer until spread thickens. Ladle hot spread into hot jars, leave 1/4 inch headspace. Process in water bath canner for 10 minutes. For healthy vegetable pizzas, use this spread as the sauce on a whole wheat crust. Add whatever veg you like and sprinkle with feta instead of a thick layer of mozzarella.

No, the hamburger is fresh, with fresh onions, and garlic added. I use a 30 minute cooking time Basmati rice and only cook it for 10 minutes, then cool it. I absolutely HATE Minute Rice (ugh!) Each pepper is stuffed with the mixture raw and then are wrapped in a small sheet of silicone coated paper (like the kind you see at some places were side orders and sandwiches are served), then in the FS bags. The paper wrap helps keep their tops on, as well as preventing sticking togther when frozen, and is easy to sperate when I want to bake them. Because some of my peppers are pimento types, they have a pointed bottom. I can't bake these standing vertically unless I prop them up against others. For a quicker baking, I will take from the freezer and microwave for about 3 minutes, and then bake for the rest of the time in the oven. I also added a bit of grated cheese to the meat rice filling. My frezer is a 20 cu.ft., and is a replacement for the now 'funky acting' 30+ year old one my dad used. After I almost lost everything due to the sudden failure of the old freezer (yes there was an alarm in it too!), I decided not to take any more chances and ran out at 7:30 am to buy another as soon as I could, so the rest of the food didn't thaw. I will be cutting up all therest of my peppers and freezing these too. Some of the stuffed peppers are in riper red peppers, as I had many ripening stages for my peppers ranging from green to yellow to red. I don't need to dry any for future sausage making as I have about 15 pounds of dried peppers too.

I have frozen them after Baked ,like Deanna said. I tried this recipe baked and frozen but the tomatoes were a little soggy. - - - - - - - - - - - - Here is a recipe for a Pepper dish I made up a while back.
