Can I refreeze peppers?

[chillilover]

I want to make a hot sauce with some frozen peppers. I was wondering if I can freeze the sauce after I make it if the peppers were already frozen or will that create a bacteria like in meat?

Will that create a bacteria like in meat?

Frowns on this spontaneous creation of bacteria.

Hmmm, that's a good question. I know if you freeze, thaw, then refreeze whole pods they just get mushier and mushier.

Exactly what he said. If you continue to freeze, thaw, then refreeze peppers you wind up with a sort of habanero milkshake. However, i'm not sure about the bacteria thing either.

I don't think it would hurt because don't you cook the peppers to make sauce?

Ya I'm gonna cook the sauce and then freeze some of it.

You should be okay then. I was watching video on the web about canning sauces and jams. Well, they were canning them like normal and then freezing them in the freezer.
