Jalapeños actually freeze really well, whole, raw and unblanched. They lose their crunchiness, obviously, but none of the flavor, and in a purée or stew or even sliced and baked, I don't notice the difference.
Whenever we're getting close to our first frost, I just jam a couple of quart jars full of jalapeños and stick them in the freezer. Where I am, they grow so freakin' hot - hotter than grocery store habañeros - that a couple of quarts is plenty to last until the next season!
