Freezing Leftover Chipotle Peppers

1. 1

   Frequently, I come across recipes that call for one or two chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

2. 2

   Unfortunately the small cans they come in have a lot more than just two peppers.

   Here's an tip on how to save the rest of the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

4. 4

   Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet.

5. 5

   Spoon out one or two peppers into small piles on the parchment paper.

6. 6

   Place the baking pan with the chipotle peppers in the freezer for an hour.

7. 7

   Then you can lift up the frozen cubes of chipotles in their adobo sauce with no mess or fuss.

8. 8

   Pop them into a zipper bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

9. 9

   The next time you need a single chipotle pepper just take one out of the zipper bag and allow the pepper thaw for 20 minutes or so and use as directed.
