Cut two small slits in each pepper. You may want to wear gloves to prevent burning hands. Dissolve salt in 4 quarts of water. Pour over peppers and let stand 12 to 18 hours in a cool place. Drain, rinse and drain thoroughly. Combine 2 cups water and all remaining ingredients except honey; simmer 15 minutes, then add honey. Remove garlic.
