It is unclear what purpose the vinegar serves. (The Ball / Bernardin Complete Book does not call for it. [1]Kingry, Judi and Lauren Devine. Ball / Bernardin Complete Book of Home Preserving. Toronto: Robert Rose. 2015. Page 391. )
The no peel approach has a definite appeal to those who feel life is too short to peel a mushroom, let alone peppers.

New Mexico says, “Chiles can be cut in pieces or left whole. Pack chiles loosely and add boiling water.” [4] Flores, Nancy. Sweet Green Peppers. New Mexico State University. E-308. May 2008. Accessed May 2015.
You cannot water bath or steam can plain peppers packed in water. For water bath or steam canning, they must be pickled to be safe from nasties. Use a tested recipe for pickled peppers such as this one for Pickled Roasted Peppers from Ball.

Many of them even operate telephone hotlines in season.Canning peppers is one of the best ways to preserve peppers. They’re cooked and ready for last-minute weeknight meals from the pantry, and they’re also perfect on sandwiches and salads right out of the jar. Fire roasting really enhances their flavor, but that step is optional, and it’s perfectly fine to can plain peppers in a pressure canner.
I absolutely love crunching on fresh peppers in season, and I’ll bite into sweet red bell peppers right out in the garden, crunching them like fresh apples. The problem is, the season is short.
While they only thrive during the heat of summer, they’re perfect for adding color, flavor, and in the case of hot peppers, spice to meals year-round.
Canning Pomodori Verdi
I’ve tried dehydrating peppers in my Excaliber Dehydrator, and that works wonderfully for soups, stew, and chili. It’s honestly one of my favorite dehydrator recipes, and they’re quick and delicious.
That said, dried peppers don’t work so well for salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, and breakfast potato and egg dishes. Dehydrating has its place, but that technique is not nearly as versatile as canning peppers.
Fire-roasted peppers are perfect for canning, and while roasting is optional from a canning safety perspective, it really enhances their flavor. Pepper skins also tend to get tough during the canning process, and blistering them over a fire beforehand prevents this, resulting in a higher quality finished product.

That’s especially true of hot peppers, which have tougher skins. We order in a case or two of hatch green chilis right from New Mexico, and the fire roasting makes all the difference when canning hatch chilis or any other hot pepper.
(We also grow plenty of hot peppers for canning, but Vermont’s a far cry from New Mexico’s climate, and if you want “hatch” chili then it needs to come from New Mexico…)
Roasting Hatch Chili for Canning. With hot peppers, it’s essential to roast the peppers to blister the skin so they can be removed. Hot pepper skins are quite tough and don’t can well. (Roasting also enhances their flavor!)

For sweet peppers, the fire roasting is more about enhancing flavor, since they tend to have tender skins that hold up better to canning.
I’m a particular fan of a sandwich I make right from my larder in the middle of winter, and every ingredient is homemade or homegrown and comes from my pantry or freezer:
Pickled peppers, which can be canned using a water bath canner, also work on my favorite sandwich, but just plain canned peppers are a lot better in my opinion. Canning plain peppers require a pressure canner, since there’s no added acidity from the pickling brine.

Plain canned peppers can also go places where pickled peppers just wouldn’t work, like on top of a bowl of fresh handmade pasta…
Packing whole peppers, as I often do with bell peppers, is the least efficient method space-wise but the most versatile. After roasting, the peppers are cored and seeded, then flattened. You can fit 3 to 4 average-sized bell peppers in a pint jar that way, which is roughly a pound of fresh peppers (as harvested) per pint.
Hot peppers also tend to lose more volume in roasting and cleaning, as there are more seeds and skins per pound than with larger bell peppers.

When we canned hatch chilis, we needed 2 to 2 1/2 pounds of fresh peppers for each pint of finished yield. That means a 25 lb case of hot peppers makes about 10 to 12 pints, roughly.
Canning peppers starts with washing the peppers. That’s especially true if you’re using purchased peppers, since peppers are one of the “dirty dozen” high spray crops. Buy organic if you can, or opt for growing your own organically instead.
After washing, I fire roast them on my backyard grill. There are other methods, but this is by far the most efficient. You can do a dozen bell peppers at a time on an average-sized gas grill, and many dozen smaller hot peppers.

Lacking a grill, you can broil them in your oven for about 15 minutes until blistered (but that heats up the house a lot in mid-summer, and you’ll need to do a lot of batches of oven-roasted peppers before you have enough for canning). In a pinch, you can roast them over a stovetop burner one at a time too, with tongs to hold each pepper. That’s really time-consuming though.
I’ve also used our high output propane burner outdoors, the one we use for making homemade beer, and that will blister a pepper in seconds. They’re still one at a time with a long pair of tongs, but you’ll be through a batch quick (just be careful with that method).
As I’ve said, blistering the skin is optional, but it really does enhance the flavor when canning peppers. It adds a subtle smokiness to the whole pepper and also carmelizes some of the natural sugars in the pepper which really brings out their flavor.
Ways To Preserve Peppers: Freeze, Can, Dry, Ferment & More!
If you skip roasting the peppers, you’ll need to parboil them anyway so they’re partially cooked when they go into the canning jars. This is important for a number of reasons.
Even if you’re going to dice them though, they do need to be partially cooked before going into the canning jars. Peppers have a lot of air in their tissues, and pre-cooking, whether it’s roasting or a quick blanch helps to drive off some of that excess air.
Pre-cooking also helps the peppers hold their shape during canning, believe it or not. These methods remove the air gently before they go into the jar. If they get packed completely raw, the air in their tissues will be forced out rapidly during the pressure canning process which will cause them to fall apart more than a simple roasting or blanching before canning.
