Evening y'all.

I have three jalapeno plants. One of them is loaded with big and ripe jalapenos that are ready to be picked (they're starting to turn red). The other two are growing jalapenos in big bunches, but the peppers are still small.

How can I store the ripe peppers from my one plant until the peppers from the other two are ready? Could I just freeze them and then thaw them? Thanks.

freezing should be fine, they should maintain most of their crunch. But i would not freeze then take them out only to decide to refreeze.

Freezing will result in mush.
You can refrigerate them for a week or two, but they're going to soften. Best bet is to pickle in small batches as they ripen. Do a jar or two now, then make another batch when you have more ripening.
