Instructions

Select healthy, firm peppers. Do not use soft or diseased peppers.
Place the peppers on a large 21" x 15" sheet pan. Place on the top rack of the oven and turn on the broiler. Broil for 5-8 minutes until the skin blisters and turns black. Flip the peppers and continue until all sides are blackened. It takes about 20-25 minutes to complete this step in a gas oven. (see notes)
Take the pan out of the oven and set it on a cooling rack. Cover with foil or a damp cloth. Cool the peppers until they are comfortable to work with.
Peel off the skins, stems, and most of the seeds. Cut or split into pieces of the desired size and place them in a large bowl.
Add the seasonings (garlic, oil, salt, pepper, parsley, and vinegar) and mix well.
Fill hot jars loosely with peppers and any liquid from the mixing bowl. Top with boiling water, if needed, leaving 1-inch headspace. If canning unseasoned peppers, optionally add 1/2 tsp of salt per pint jar.
Remove air bubbles, wipe the rims, add the lid and the bands and tighten them finger-tight.
Process in a pressure canner using the schedule specified in the notes sections and in the post above.

Notes

Caution: when working hot peppers, wear latex or rubber gloves and do not touch your face while handling or cutting hot peppers. If you do not wear gloves, wash your hands thoroughly with soap after working with hot peppers.

If using canned peppers as ingredients for other dishes, skip the seasonings and add only 1/2 a teaspoon of salt per pint jar. It's OK to skip the salt altogether if desired.
You can also core, seed, and slice peppers before blistering them. Small peppers may be left whole. Large peppers may be quartered. Remove cores and seeds. Slash two or four slits in each pepper, and either blanch in boiling water or blister skins.
