I found this recipe on allrecipes.com last year and although it calls for cucumbers I used it for my banana peppers too. It is for refrigerator pickles, but I believe it could be used for traditional canning. I gave some jars away so I didn't have a refrigerator full. I used less sugar to suit our taste and waistlines. We all loved the cucumbers, banana and bell peppers that we pickled using this recipe.

there are lots of recipies on the web. You can just simply get a mason jar fill it with the peppers, add your spices (garlic, mustard seeds, onion, whatever you want really) then fill the jar half to 3/4 of the way with white vinegar and then fill the rest all the way to the top with water. Seal it and wait about 2-3 weeks store it in a cool dark place and you should be all set.

I also freeze mine by chop/diceing up my peppers and then lay them out on a cookie sheet and put in a freezer for about an hour and then put them in a container or bag with a good seal and then back in the freezer to store. You can use them when ever you want and take out how ever much you may need and keep them longer.

Hope this helps.

I second the freezing method. That's exactly how I do mine as well. By freezing them on a cookie sheet first, you get a faster, higher quality freeze, plus they don't stick together. Peppers are one of those things that freeze really well, they don't even have to be blanched first.

This recipe works well with peppers, too. I leave out the dill and I ADD 1/4 teaspoon turmeric to each jar. It helps the peppers turn that bright electric yellow:) This is a great, GREAT pickle recipe. The lady next door told me she used to take home a blue ribbon at the county fair every year she entered.

I dehydrate excess peppers.
I simply wash them. Then I slice them into rings, remove the seeds, and then a quick dip in boiling water to stop the aging process, and pop them into my dehydrator.
They dry all shrivelled, but they definitely come alive again, when added to liquids, when I am making something and want them.
You can even powder them for spices!

I like to re-hydrate and add them to pizzas!

This isn't a preservation recipe, but it does use up a lot of peppers. I grew WAY to many banana peppers last year, and this one helped me use them up. It also uses up a few other things.

Stuffed Banana Peppers

1 small chopped onion
1 med. bell pepper
2 c. shredded cheddar (or 1 cup cream cheese and 1 c. cheddar)
1 small jalepeno, seeded and chopped
1/4 lb. bacon
1 dozen banana peppers

Wash peppers. Make slice down side, remove seeds. Mix all ingredients except bacon. Stuff peppers with mixture. Wrap bacon slice around each stuffed pepper. Bake at 375 until bacon is done.
-----
I like to use the cream cheese, just so the stuffing is a little creamy. I also like to up the jalepeno, and use a few more banana peppers than 12, otherwise they seem overly stuffed and kind of explode when you try to eat them. Oh, and low fat cheeses work fine. : )

Not quite banana peppers but a friend of mine who should be a chef makes the most awesome pepperonchini's. He takes a tenderloin (fillet) cut that thinly wraps the pepper with the fillet and then with bacon than barbecues them. They are so immensely awesome. He also makes up a special sauce for them though that is not needed but it helps. Sorry don't know the sauce recipe.

I may have said too much already.

Go to the grocery store in the canning sections. Buy a package of pickling spices and a jar of bread and butter pickles. Go home and mix the pickling spices so it tastes like the liquid in the jar of bread and butter pickles.

Slice and dice the peppers. I like to add onions, thin carrot strips, maybe some other vegatables. Pack pint mason jars with your peppers and vegatables then pour in the hot boiling pickling spices. Put on the seal and ring and screw it tight then turn the jar upside down until it cools to room temperature.

Put the jars in the pantry for about 2 months then they will be ready to open and eat.
