Instructions

Scrub the sport peppers under cool running water. Leave them whole unless they're terribly large, in which case you can halve them lengthwise. Place the chiles, vinegar, and salt in a medium pot, bring to a boil, and let 'er rip over medium–high heat for 2 minutes.

Working quickly and using a slotted spoon or tongs, divide the chiles evenly among several hot, sterilized jars or bottles. Using a sterilized funnel, carefully fill the jars or bottles with the hot liquid. Seal the jars or bottles according to the manufacturers' directions. Let rest at room temperature until cool.
