I got some red and yellow peppers on sale yesterday and am wondering the
best way to preserve them. Not sure how I will use them in the near future
but am thinking maybe on sandwiches or in omlets.

I plan to char them first over a gas burner, then cut into strips.
I googled preserving them and found this:
------------------------------------------------------------------
To Freeze Peppers: Halve sweet peppers (green, red, yellow or purple),
remove the core and seeds, and slice into julienne
strips or small 1/4" chunks. Pack them into a freezer bag, squeeze out the
air and throw them in the freezer. That's it! Frozen
peppers are best used in a dish that gets sauteed, such as a stir-fry, or
added to onions and potatoes for a tasty omelet.

To Pickle Peppers: Prepare peppers as above. Fill a clean pint or quart jar
to within an inch of the top with the chopped
peppers. Pour in white vinegar to cover all peppers. Cover with a plastic
lid if possible, as the vinegar will gradually corrode
metal lids. Store the jar in the back of your refrigerator for up to 12
months. The peppers will stay crunchy for a few months
but will gradually soften. Spoon them out of the jar as you need them. The
vinegar is flavorful, too. My favorite pickled peppers
are a colorful mix of yellow, orange and red Hungarian hot wax peppers.
They're great on sandwiches or mixed into pasta and
bean salads.

My first thought was to just freeze them as mentioned above but I'm
wondering about the pickled too. If pickled, does just vinegar sound good?
Or should I add some spices to that? If so, what spices?

I might just try both ways and learn something but any opinions/suggestions
are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking at least some cracked black pepper might be good?

I bought a bunch of red peppers a few months back and julienned them
and put them in the dehydrator and put them in a ziploc bag, so I
think theoretically as long I keep them dry they will last a long,
long time.
