Sticky Sweet Candied Jalapenos

jalapenos

water

Slice jalapenos into rounds.  Remove the seeds if you don't want them extra spicy.  If you want them extra spicy leave the seeds. I would suggest wearing gloves during this part.

Place jalapenos in a small sauce pan.

Add water and sugar.

Cook over medium/high heat until boiling.

Reduce temperature and simmer until the liquid has reduced and looks like syrup, stirring occasionally.  This takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Let cool and place in jar.

Store in refrigerator.

THANK YOU! I had made these before and loved them, but every recipe I was finding this time was for “cowboy candy”, which is NOT the same!  I love this stuff.

I haven't made this yet but I know I'm going to love it.  I will chop some up in cornbread along with grated cheddar cheese.  Yum!

I made these from this recipe and OH MY GOSH. These Candied Jalapeños Could make a puppy drag a freight train. So delicious!!

This is so easy and so perfect for using up a plethora of jalapeños we have every year!! So glad I found this recipe.

Nothing but delish!  Ritz crackers topped with cream cheese and candied jalapeños!

I made this with some seeds, but not all. First served it with baked Brie, strawberry preserves and the jalapeños.  Everyone loved it!  Then I chopped them up small and stirred them into a Brownie mix.  I actually saw a woman running up to a group next to me with two brownies on a napkin say “oh my God, you need to try these!”  Next time on a strawberry cheesecake.  Thank You!

Very nice! Used candy thermometer to watch temp. Syrup at 230 and pulled it off. Perfect. Took about 45 mins for 2 1/2 cups of jalapenos, 1 C sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Final yield, about 1/2 cup of finished product.

This recipe was so easy and so delicious! Have been giving them to my friends

Candied Jalapeno recipe. This was absolutely amazing! After refrigerating them in a glass pickle jar, it was hard to stop eating them on pizza, crackers with cheese!

I Just made this using pickled jalapeno slices, and it turned out perfect. I plan on adding them as a topping on hamburgers for dinner tonight. Thank you very much for the simple and delicious recipe.

This is so great! I had 3.5 pounds of jalapeños, took seeds out of most of them, left a few small jalapeños with seeds cut into the mix and it turned out the perfect sweet heat taste. Thank you for this simple recipe! I can't wait to share my little jars with family and friends. Next time making them I will buy even more jalapeños. The 3.5 pounds made six 4oz jars.

3 Ingredient Candied Jalapenos

This cowboy candy recipe is the perfect blend of sweet &amp; spicy, but without the worry of excessive sugar! Easily water bath can them to be shelf-stable.

Easy Cowboy Candy Recipe (Candied Jalapeños) - Lower Sugar, Water Bath Canned

honey*

cane sugar

apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)

garlic garlic

salt, (optional)

cayenne powder, (optional)

jalapeños

Prepare a water bath canner, wash and keep warm 8 half-pint canning jars, lids and rings. Slice jalapeños (remember to wear gloves).

Combine the honey, sugar, vinegar, and seasonings in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minuted, until slightly thickened.

Add the sliced jalapeños to the syrup and simmer another 5 minutes. It should steam and bubble a bit, but not boil hard again.

Ladle the hot peppers and syrup into one hot jar at a time, leaving a 1/2 inch headspace. Use a non-metal spatula or chopstick to remove air bubbles and wipe the rim with a damp cloth. Attach lids and rings and place in rack of canner. Repeat with remaining jars.

Lower rack and bring canner to a boil over high heat then start timing 15 minutes to process the jars (adjusting for altitude). Once timer goes off, remove the lid, turn off heat and let jars sit in canner for 5 minutes.

Remove the jars to a towel-lined surface (Tip: a tray with a towel allows for them to be moved if needed) and let cool 12-24 hours without disturbing.

Remove the rings and check lids for sealing - refrigerate any that don&#39;t seal (rare!) - and then label and store for up to 18 months. If you can wait  2-4 weeks before opening, that will be the best flavor!
