My plants blossomed late as well, but now have many many fruit.
If the fruit fails to fully ripen, do you pickle anyway?
If I cut back the top and dug up the plant (planted in ground), could I successfully overwinter? I was just reading somewhere to do that with tender herbs. Normally, I just bid farewell to the peppers, but maybe this one is worth extra work.

Sorry to hear about your garden problems.
I don't see why you can't pickle if they are not completely ripe. The flavor would be a bit different, but what the hey?
I've never dug out of the ground so I can't comment on that since I grew mine pots from the get go, but I can say they do overwinter easy.Ikept mine in a cool room next to a west facing window, didn't water much, and they were fine.
