I have a large plastic grocery bag of fresh Anaheim peppers. I'm wanting to pickle them or water bath can them. I'm having a horrible time finding a recipe to do this.
Can anyone help me out? All the recipes I've found add either different kids of peppers to the mix or a recipe for something else to do with them beside pickle or other kind of can them. I just want to use the Anaheim peppers and maybe garlic if possible.
Thanks everyone

Pickled Hot Peppers (Yield: about 9 pints)
(Your choice: Hungarian, banana, chile, jalapeño)
4 lb hot, long, red/green/yellow peppers
3 lb sweet, mixed red and green peppers
5 cups vinegar (5%)
1 cup water
4 tsp canning/pickling salt
2 Tbsp sugar
2 cloves of garlic
Caution: Wear rubber gloves when handling hot peppers
or wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching
your face.
Wash peppers. If peppers are small, leave whole. Cut two slits in each. Blanch in boiling water or blister in order to peel. Cool and peel off skin. Flatten small peppers, quarter larger peppers. Fill jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Combine and heat vinegar, water, salt , sugar and garlic to boiling and simmer 10 minutes. Remove garlic. Pour hot pickling solution over peppers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process in boiling-water canner.

I don't see any reason you can't use all Anaheims in this recipe instead of part hot peppers and part sweet peppers.
