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 Tbsp. mustard seed
1 tsp. turmeric
2 tsp. celery seed (optional)
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground 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. Store in refrigerator.

Enjoy
