Cowboy Candy - Candied Jalapenos

 

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. (Wear 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 and

simmer about 10 minutes 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 minutes.

 

Place boiling mixture into jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Adjust caps.
