Canning Hot Peppers?

I haven't tried it, but a recent friend has canned green chiles. These are roasted black & cooled. Peel the skin off, she uses water, garlic salt and a quartered tomato, then hot water bath. Sounds great! She said the acid from the tomato helps the preservation. You can roast your own on a bbq grill, after roasting they must sit in a plastic bag for a whilte. Google roasting peppers and you'll find those details.

I've never tried actually canning them, but we "pickle" them. We simply put them in a jar with a vinegar and water mix (the proportion of each depends on taste) and close the lid tightly.
