Wash peppers well and slice into rings about 1/4". Set aside.
Combine all ingredients besides peppers into a medium/large sauce pan. You want to have enough room for the syrup to rise up. Bring mixture to a boil.
Add peppers and reduce heat to low. Simmer peppers in syrup 15 minutes.
Carefully remove jars from water bath canner and place onto a towel. I like to use a jar lifter for this step.
Ladle hot peppers and syrup into jars. Leave a 1/2 inch headspace.
Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth. Place lids and rings on then tighten.
Refrigerate for up to 3 months or follow water bath canning instructions below.
