Does anybody pickle their peppers? If so how do you go about it?I would like to try pickling a batch of peppers that a pal has just harvested.

I did some jalapenos recently.
Packed them into a jar, heated equal parts vinegar and water to a simmer and poured it over, then added some pickling spice. Sealed the jar then put the whole thing in boiling water for another 10 minutes. I used one of those jars with the 'safety button' on top so when it cooled it went in and you could tell it was sealed. Then left it for about a month.

I would suggest you check out http://chillisgalore.co.uk/ there is a whole forum on preserving.

Greenhot that is exactly how I do it.
What about olive oil? For lack of a better idea, I took the rest of my habs and jalapenos, prepped them, then put them in a nice jar and filled it with some awesomely tasty and fragrant olive oil I had. Got the idea from the grocery store and the oil cured olives and cheeses they sell.
Anyone ever try something like that?

Be careful. The unsafe way to do that is to put anything in the oil that contains water. That would include garlic, lemon peel, fresh peppers, fresh herbs and spices. The oil will not support bacterial growth but the water containing herbs will. Botulism bacteria can grow in this type of environment. Dry the peppers first, then add them to the oil.
I jsut pulled all my Jalapeno plants. Just need to cut them into slices and can them tonight.
