I like this bread and butter recipe and you can put them in the fridge without processing for a long time.

Aside from John's great recipe, you may want to cgeck out the site below. Lots of great info on safe pickling and a few tested recipes for canning hot pepper pickles that can be stored on a shelf. Check out the "Other Pickled Vegtables" link on the page for the pepper recipes.
