Hi Matt,
I have made this recipe 3 or more times and yes the garlic turns sort of
bluish and I'm still alive, it's a chemical reaction and it's safe to eat.
I used a mix of cayenne, rocotillo, aji, habanero and jalapenos that I had
dried along with my garlic that I grew also, wow, it is really good.  I use
those small freezer containers and froze individual containers of it because
I didn't know how long it would last in the frig, turns out not long at all
since we eat it up so quickly.

Anyway here is a site that has some information about pickling peppers and
garlic.  http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/foodnut/09314.html
