Can you freeze scotch bonnets? None of the stores in my town sells them  I have to order them on the internet so I need to know the best way to preserve them.
Thank you,

 I have the same problem; but I have tried all kinds of ways to http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=76450&PN=2 - perserve these things...Green peppers I do freeze; but I never allow them to defrost ( it's from the freezer to the frying pan). Bonnet peppers... I rather wash and bottle them covered with vinegar, then I pick them out (like gold nuggets  ) as needed. They can last me a long time. ------------- |

Thank you...that sounds like a winner however does it change the taste of the recipe being preserved in vinegar? Also, I just got my first order of Scotch Bonnets the other day and one was red, one green and the rest yellow....which color is the hottest or does it really matter?  ------------- The only thing you truly own i |

| Not really, and the vinegar dos affect it some what, take the scotch bonnet and put them in a blender, with a little vinegar, then bottle it and keep in the fridge. use it sparingly, i make my own Scotch bonnet sauce with a few table spoon of honey mustard a few table spoon of clear vinegar. also sometimes i put some tamarind and every one who likes pepper loves it. the aroma is great. |

That sounds deliciious! I love peppers and hot sauce...today was the first time I've made rice and peas with pigeon peas and scotch bonnet peppers and I was a bit disappointed because the recipe called for "one uncut scotch bonnet" and since someone told me that scotch bonnets were beyond hot I thought that uncut would work well...not so, no heat whatsoever!!!! Other than that the rice and peas was delicious but lacked "heat"!!!! I also bought scotch bonnet "dried flakes"....what would be a nice amount for a somewhat heated dish?

Scotch bonnets............yea freeze'em
(doesn't make them cooler to eat !!!
use as you would fresh .Only trouble is Texture. If you like to eat them raw[as I do sometimes] once defrosted they tend to be a little mushy

The colours dont alter the scofield units (heat rating).The darker the colour the sweeter the pepper. I like green for some things red for others and my favourite is yellow. mmmmmmmmmm  Try growing your own in a pot by a warm window. Great house plants.
