My sister in Colorado purchased a large amount of roasted chiles from Hatch, NM at a stand on the west side of Denver. I have been to this particular stand the last two times I have gone to visit my sisters, and I can tell you that the peppers are absolutely top drawer. She called to ask me what the best method of preservation other than canning. I recommended that she freeze them—skins on. What do you all think? Thanks. P.S. She tortured me by describing the pork roast—topped with Hatch chiles, cilantro, onions, etc.—that she is slow cooking for tonight’s dinner. As I write this, I am drooling on my keyboard.
