Dice peppers, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and finely chop garlic on a large cutting board. Discard any tomato ends or tough pieces of peppers. Add to a large (non-metal) mixing bowl.
Dice garlic and add to bowl.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and lime juice over the mixture. Gently blend, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
The following day, drain the vegetables, reserving two cups of the liquid. Rinse vegetables in a colander and set aside. At this time, prepare/heat up jars and bring your stock pot of water to a boil for your canning process. Heat up jar lids in a small sauce pan.
In a separate small pot, blend the vegetable liquid, and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Stir and boil.
Stir in vegetables but do not boil vegetables- instead, reduce heat and keep mixture hot. The vegetable mixture must be hot in order to go into hot jars. However, if you boil the Pico de Gallo mixture, it will quickly cook down and become a salsa. Leave uncovered at lowest heat on the stove until jars are ready.
Once jars are hot, Carefully remove with tongs and empty out any water inside. On the counter, place a towel down and line cans up. Use a canning funnel to fill each small jar with vegetable mixture. Leave head space at top and wipe jars clean prior to placing lids on top. Immediately return them to the water bath canning (stockpot). Each jar should also have a small amount of liquid at the bottom of the can.
Process jars according to canning directions for your elevation, about 15 minutes at sea level for pint jars. Remove to the dry kitchen towel on the counter and let them remained undisturbed until cool. Label and enjoy!
