Re: storing peppers

Nothing preserved one way or another ever tastes exactly as if "straight off the bush" 
but to be honest, freezing is the best way to preserve as much as possible of the taste 
in my experience. Any process involving heat (eg bottling, canning etc) has a marked 
effect on the volatile oils in the fruit, much more so than the damage to the cell walls 
caused by freezing (or rather thawing out after freezing) has. I think I'd stick with freezing 
if preserving as much "freshness" is your main objective. It's always worked for me... 

What kind of "deterioration" have you been noticing after freezing?
