For peppers cut into rings or 1/4's. place 1 clove or 2 of garlic into jar (pepper and dill for pickles)  place pepper ings or slices into hot pint or qt. jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.  Pour hot (close to boiling) brine over peppers or pickles leaving 1/2 inch head space.  cover jars with ot lids and rings.  If you do want to hot process do so for 5 min.

Very little vinegar and heated close to boiling as well (which 
I understand reduces the acidity of the vinegar).  No or very 
short processing time?  I don't know...sounds kinda risky.  
Lot of salt, though.
