Canning: Candied Jalapeños (

[@Anamericanhomestead]

Wow, just sat down after finishing 12 pounds of candied jalapeños. Then saw your video! It was nice to hear your kitchen laugh again. I changed up the recipe a bit. 3 pounds jalapeños, diced. 2 cups Apple cider vinegar 5 cups cane sugar 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup molasses 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp all spice 1/4 tsp cardamom 1/2 tsp clove powder 1 tsp vanilla 2 star anise The kids are drooling waiting to try. Told them they had to wait.

WOW! I HAVE to know what you think! hahaha I am like another kid in your kitchen! hahaha

Thank you so much! xoxo

[@michelewickey9744]

I just made this for the first time and it is sooo good. I took my jalapeños and put them through the food processor so they where like relish size chunks, maybe a bit larger and did everything else the same.... this is so good and I use a spoonful on a cracker with cream cheese. We love spicy stuff. I also canned the leftover brine for marinade.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

I bet relish would be good and easier to use!

[@trapped7534]

Girl!!!! You are on fire!!! These things are delicious!!! I make them every year. Be aware of the heat,but they are addicting 💖💖💖💖 I eat them on lots of things and I do not particularly like hot foods. I put some on a salmon pattie yesterday. Love it with beans/cornbread,fried potatoes,every doggone thing. Lol Word of warning… let it rest for at least 6 weeks,8-10 weeks are better. If trying it before then,it is way too hot. The candy part takes time. I have started rough grinding mine. Makes it easier to “chew”. The slices are very “crunchy” and more difficult. Yummmmy!!!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

the sweet.....then the heat comes at the back end! hahaha

I make both, the Cowboy Candy and the Cowgirl Candy (pineapple and jalapeno candied together.) Both have excellent brine and can be eaten with just about anything. I have a niece that will down a half pint everyday when she's sick; she swears it has healing properties.

I love the popping sound after you take them out of the water bath. I use a plastic plate like a lazy Susan. I put 4 maybe 5 jars. Full one then move on to the next jar. Like a assembly line but in a circle. Wipe them all, lids on. I have old dish cloth I use to hold when I screw on the the lids.

My main uses for jalapenos I grow is jalapeno mayonnaise and jalapeno bomber dip.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

WOW! that sounds GOOD!

[@davidproper]

They are both awesome. For my mayo I use 5-6 jalapenos with seeds, bit of salt, garlic, lime juice, 2 egg yokes and sometimes some onion. Run in the chopper. Then slowly drip in 2 cups of oil. Found running the chopper on chop helps air rate it thicken it up a bit. Jalapeno Bomber Dip. I use anywhere from 50 to 80 jalapenos. Depending on my harvest. I leave 3rd of the seeds in. Found that's a good balance of heat and flavor for me. Chop them in the chopper. Then melt half a brick (the 64oz ones) in a pot with 2 things of cream cheese. Once melted, stir in bacon bits an the jalapenos. Can also add in cooked shredded chicken, fried hamburg, etc. Put in oven save baking dishes. When you want to eat them, cover with bread crumbs and heat in oven at 350 deg till bubbly. Eat with small round tortilla chips or any other of your choosing.
