During roasted chile season, it’s likely you will purchase bushels of chile and prepare them for frozen storage.
Roasted green chiles must be processed and cooled right away. Once rapid cooling has been accomplished you can cold hold chiles to use quickly or freeze them for long-term storage to enjoy all year.
