Chop and blanch - I think all of it will freeze

Chillies and onions will both pickle. Just souse them in any old vinegar for the move and make a more suitable pickle in a couple of days.

Good luck!

Onions should be fine as long as air can get to them, you could keep them in a net bag (like the ones you get with oranges.

Chillies will be fine if you string them up (pierce the stalk rather than the fruit)

Sweet potatoes again, if you allow air to get right between them will keep for months in a cool kitchen.

Having said all that, if you prepare them all (ie wash, slice and dice) I am sure they will all freeze fine, though the sweet potato might only be good for soup then


Broccoli, wash, cut up and freeze (some say you should blanche it first, I'm not so sure) once it has been in the freezer for a few hours take it out and give the box or bag a little shake, to keep the piece separate.
