There's not much more you can do with bell peppers except process them the way you want to use them in the future and freeze them. They are not a vegetable that you can dehydrate and I've never seen them canned in any way.
I dice mine when I have an abundance and put them in those plastic snack bags and then put the snack bags in some quart freezer Zip-lock bags and remove as many little bags as I need when cooking something later on.

In the store you can buy roasted red peppers in a jar. I think they are preserved in salt water, but they aren't salty. Can you do that at home? They are good on pizza, sandwiches, salads, and scrambled eggs.

You can also try your hand at making paprika.

If they are truly preserved in just salted water, then they HAVE to be pressure canned to prevent spoilage-------and I'm not talking about a simple hot water bath in an open pot of water covering the canning jars.
They will need to be put in a pressure cooker to make them safe to use later.
You can use a simple hot water bath IF the liquid in jars is a vinegar type brine like used for making pickled vegetables.

I'll trade you some serrano and Anaheim

You can dice and freeze in recipe sized portions

I quarter all of my bell peppers, freeze on a cookie sheet for a few hours, then vacuum seal.

OK, so anything can be dehydrated, but have you ever seen dehydrated bell peppers??
I know I certainly haven't in my 71 years on this orb and being a home cook for over 50 or them.

Roast, quarter, jar in olive oil, sell or give to neighbors.

I’ve made roasted red pepper ketchup or sauce in the past when I had an abundance of tomatoes and peppers. While I dice up a bunch of peppers to store in freezer, just not that big of a fan.

bell peppers are unitaskers…only required when cooking trinity with a roux. Otherwise they can be swapped out without concern. The little sweet snacking peppers are much more useful in the kitchen

Make a batch of rice dressing, stuff them and freeze them. When you want a stuffed pepper pull it out the freezer and bake for 45 minutes at 350.

Sauerkraut and Pickled Red Onions are canned and preserved in salt water. I don't think they are pressure canned. Not sure what exact preserving and pickling mechanism is utilized, but I've seen it done on TV without any special equipment.

Some of the takes on here are so unnecessarily bad.
Why do people do this?
