Candied Jalapenos (Cowboy Candy) Recipe by: Galen Gann
This makes a very tasty and spicy addition to almost any meal.
First process 4 lb. fresh jalepeno peppers sliced 2 lb. onions diced 1/2 cup vinegar 1/2 cup water
second process 6 to 8 cups sugar 2 Tbs. mustard seed 1 tsp. turmeric 2 tsp. celery seed (optional) 1 Tbs. garlic powder 1 tsp. ginger
Slice Jalapenos into thin slices and dice onions (I would suggest a pair of rubber gloves for handling jalapenos, personal experience, do not touch your face!). Place in pan with water and vinegar, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat & simmer about 10 min or until tender. (do not breath fumes) . Note: you can use pickled slices for this.
Pour off most of the water vinegar mixture, ( hint keep juice for pepper jelly) add the sugar and spices bring to soft candy temperature to completely dissolve sugar about another 10 min. Place boiling mixture into jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Adjust caps.
Enjoy
