Rick's Tropical Delight, You pickle them. They are much better than anything you can buy. Recipe is simple: Bring to boil 17c water, 1 c non-iodized salt, 1 c cider vinegar. Slice peppers and stuff into quart jars, alternately adding peeled and gently smashed garlic cloves (about 6-8 per jar) and sprigs of fresh dill (one on bottom, on half way full, one on top). You can also add asparagus (Bloody Marys!!!) or green beans. Ladle the hot brine directly into the jars. Then use a vacuum sealer to evacuate and seal the jar. This will make very crispy peppers and the vinegar and salt (along with boiling everything first) will prevent any contamination. I have never had a problem with this method. If you panic and demand sterilized pickles, place them in a hot water bath and process 20 minutes, but prepare for soft pickles. Wait 2 weeks before opening.
