Wash the chile peppers with cold water
10 Peppers
Start Grill (Charcoal or Gas). Make sure the Grill is hot!
Place the peppers directly over the heat.
Some peppers will make a popping noise; this is usually when the Peppers have started to char.
Continue to turn the peppers over on the hot grill.
All sides should be charred.
When all sides are charred, place the peppers into a Paper Bag or Plastic container that can be sealed.

After the chiles have cooled, the skin can be easily removed by running the peppers under cool water.
Pull the skin off, cut off the peppers' tops, and rinse the seeds. The peppers can be frozen with or without removing the skin and seeds. Place them flat in a freezer bag.

When ready to use - pull out the peppers you want. Run them under cool water, and the peppers defrost quickly. If you leave the skin on when freezing, it will easily peel off under cool running water. Cut off the stems and rinse out the seeds.
