I LOVE Cowboy Candy!! I use it on anything and everything. Cowboy candy can be used as a condiment or an appetizer. You can top your pizza, burgers, Brito bows, etc. To make an appetizer with cowboy candy, I open a jar and pour it over a brick of cream cheese and serve it with your favorite crackers!

Becky, i had thought my canning and preserving days were behind me. My family is all gone, i live in a 1BR apt and don't have a garden or a big farm kitchen anymore. All of that and anxiety and maybe a bit of lonliness over the last few years have been tough. My love for cooking and being in an organized, prepared kitchen has come back since watching your videos. I am excited about something. My kitchen is my happy place. I've canned and dehydrated everything i can get my hands on and am sharing those things, too. I live 2 blocks from a beautiful farmers market and am in love with these projects. Thank you for reminding me of being a young wife, gardener, and canner. I'm doing as much of that as i can again. This is on the agenda for next weekend!

[@tombent1048]

I know it has been a year since you posted this but this is one of the nicest, warm, heartfelt posts i have seen in a long time, Super sweet of you to post it and let her know how much her videos are helping you heal. I sincerely hope things are going well for you and that you are still cooking for the love of it. Bless your heart.

[@staceykelly4211]

@tombent1048 Thank you for the kind words. My love of the farmer's market has brought a sweet friend into my life. Turns out she lived next door all the time and we didn't know one another. She was at the market and recognized me from the hallway and asked what to do with the multitude of veggies I bought. She was a non-cook. She's not a canner yet, but I'm teaching her to cook and grow herbs, and this old lady has a new friend in a 26 year old who will, maybe someday, provide for her family the way I was able to with homemade bread and fresh meals. I hope she feels that great satisfaction. I feel it again, myself.

[@mimiashford5544]

LOVE this... I modified it a bit & cut sugar in half, added 2 finely chopped Habaneros, 1 small, finely chopped red onion & about 8 finely chopped garlic cloves. **BOMB!!!

[@tryingtobemd-phd]

I think I’ve gone back and watched almost every single one of your videos. I’m ✨obsessed ✨

[@alyssalauren1591]

Me too 😂

[@fp2551]

I'm glad I'm not the only one hahahahah

[@stacysabourin-stein5746]

I canned 195 pints of Cowboy Candy this year, I also canned all left over syrup.... we planted 140 pepper plants, 220 tomato plants of different varieties.. plus all other garden veggies... we do not sell but can, freeze, dehydrate our produce and give away to family, friends and neighbors...

[@britt2607]

Incredible!

[@rachelm1515]

what do you do with the leftover syrup?

[@tinkerbellwiz]

Wow that's alot I want to try this because I love jalapeños

[@tscarletespin2261]

@Amy Ketterhagen I second that!! 😁

[@chermp6787]

@Stacy Sabourin-Stein what do you use the leftover syrup for??

[@amytih47]

I wonder if you know how calming and soothing your videos are? If you know that your sweet personality and warm nature are among many reasons people watch. I have a similar size property and plan to (somewhat) homestead in the coming years which is how I found your channel - researching for my hopeful future but I also suffer debilitating anxiety. My husband works nights which only increases my anxiety levels and nothing calms me like your videos so I’d just like to say thank you for sharing your life and passion and for offering a safe place for people like me to feel not so alone. Much love xx

[@AcreHomestead]

Wow Amy thank you for sharing with me! I am excited for you and for what you might do with a garden. Anxiety is so hard - Much love Becky

[@lucyclark1301]

I find them stressful. they give me anxiety. too much chaos

[@cookingwithsusie8909]

I find her voice and demeanor very soothing as well.

[@PirouettingFox]

I second this! Though mine is a mix of anxiety and depression. These videos calm me down like little else can otherwise. I'll rewatch videos again and again. Much love to you Becky!

[@trishcrr]

Totally agree! You are the best, Becky!!❤

[@Love_Lei_Xo]

I feel like we should all take a shot for every time she says "Cowboy Candy." 🤠😂🤣😂🤣

[@jameyfisher423]

😂😂🤣 let’s do it!

[@heathersumner4497]

My brother and his wife were getting about 20 eggs per day so we were eating a lot of deviled eggs. The Candy started as a topper, one ring per egg. Then it got minced into the mixture to finally minced, a little juice and a ring topper. It did make for some fantastic deviled eggs.

[@mayracollins9817]

I added garlic so good and spicy, I save & canned the brine too . I'll be making serranos cowboy candy tomorrow. Your hotdauce but green & you sriracha sauce too got lots of chillies from my back yard thank you so much.

[@jesacamccartney3271]

I just finished my second canner of the morning with cowboy candy. I had about 7 pounds of jalapeños from the garden. This is the first year I’ve done it and we really like it! I do add turmeric, celery seed, salt and garlic. I also canned my leftover syrup for a meat marinade/glaze. This is my second batch this year. I made cheddar jalapeño bread with some from my first batch and it was really good!

[@Lyddiebits]

Yes!!! That leftover juice...I have 2 jars in my fridge, it's good in vodka, makes a spicy martini!

[@atdepaulis]

Yum!!

[@leslief5129]

Same! I was able to get 4 pint jars and 1 pint jar of juice! Had a great Sunday!

[@heathersumner4497]

Never thought about that. Good idea!

[@dorothyyoung8231]

I’ll bet that syrup would be great for candied bacon!

[@trinafrank4714]

I want to be like you when I grow up! Since I am 50, I might get to that point yet. 🤣 Your peppers are hot this year, because of the lack of rain. The capsaicin is what causes the heat, and if you dont get a ton of rain, it becomes more condensed and intense, equaling hotter peppers. More water will dilute the capsaicin. Of course some varieties are just hotter than others. You inspire me!!!

[@hannahkayee831]

Wow interesting never knew that! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@kaymack5304]

🤣🤣🤣

[@KIMjB72]

I agree lol

[@jeccalou9894]

I bake my own no-knead bread and I dice up cowboy candy and add it to the dough before allowing it to rise. Very delicious, especially when sliced and topped with brie cheese.

[@JaneDoe42011]

I made these the other day. I tried something new with the extra liquid that turned out fantastic. I boiled the jalapeno syrup along with 2 cubes of butter until about the hard ball stage. I was aiming for taffy but went too far. Anyhow, when it cooled off a bit I pulled it like taffy until my arms couldn't take it any longer, then I cut it into small pieces. I tossed the pieces in powdered sugar to keep them ftom sticking to each other. I'm telling you, it is really delicious. If you like candy...hot candy, give it a try. EDIT: I also had a red bell pepper I had to use, so I chopped into approx 1/4 x 1/4" pieces & added it to the jalapenos. It didn't add anything flavor-wise, but it made it a beautiful red & green concoction perfect for Christmas.

[@melodysfiresidefarm]

You are so in your happy place canning and your face glows! I buy different varieties of beans by the cases because I love canning huge amounts of beans for the pantry. One because we eat lots of bean soups, chilies, rice and beans everything beans and it is my addiction canning them. Thanks for sharing your joy!!

[@dameankimberly6634]

Sometimes I wonder what's so exciting, but I think that's just your energy! Gives me a boost regardless of what I'm doing. 😊

This is easily one of my favorite channels to learn gardening tips before we move onto our new land and start planting!

You are by far the best homesteading KZbin channel out there. I'm so happy we are from the same area-ish (I'm in Newberg, Oregon...45 mins from PDX) because we need more PNW representation on KZbin! Also you're just awesome! Keep up the good work.

[@lfsarjh]

I love this recipe. I did a blend of about 65% Jalapenos and 35% Bell Peppers to tone down the heat to suit my family. It was so good. Thanks.

[@OnlineCourseExpert]

I canned 20 x 1/2 pints a few weeks ago and I’ve already gone through 5 of them. 😂 I love mixing it into cornbread, and I used half a pint in my homemade barbeque sauce!

[@divinetransitions_]

My child watched this video with me and at the end they said, “I want to go to her house.”😂 You’ve got all the good snacks! I love your channel! Hubby and I will definitely be trying this.

[@sloaneperry1938]

When I saw the notification for this recipe, I literally said "YAAAAYYYYYYYY" super LOUD in my apartment! 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this recipe! It's something I want to try out and, for some reason, I always had the impression it was pretty complicated. However, you make it look so so easy and simple to make. To the point of removing any intimidating part away. That's an awesome gift/skill you've got there! 👍😉 I hope I'll be able to make this recipe soon! I love cream cheese, so I might try Cowboy Candy with it, too! 😉 Edit: Just letting you know that you forgot to write, the word "jalapeños" in the ingredient list (you only wrote " 3 pounds, thinly spiced") and, in the recipe's directions, at which step to add the salt. I know it has to be added when it's boiling because if it's added before that, it erodes the bottom of the stock pot (or whatever pot we use). So, in my own notes, I added it at step #2, before adding the peppers. My goodness, this recipe looks so easy to make!!!, 😄😄😄🎉🎉🎉😄😄😄

[@Girlgirltv215]

You are in a roll with this consistency. Keep up with this good content 🙌🏾. My fav channel right now

[@simplelife6294]

Becky - I am so excited I found your KZbin channel! Have binged watch a bunch of your videos in the last 2 days! It is spring here in Sydney Australia, and watching your vids has given me a kick start on getting my veggie garden into action! 😍

[@cecesalas6216]

Im going to have to try this someday. Great video, Becky. BTW, overwatering peppers can make them less spicy. If you want spicier jalapenos, give them full sun, yank off some leaves, and deny them water every so often.

[@AcreHomestead]

good to know!! thank you

[@tknight9309]

I make extra syrup, boil with peppers and then can it alongside the jalapeños. It’s the perfect sweet-hot on pork roasts and mix with mustard when baking a ham. I also throw carrots into the jars and they’re delicious

[@DjChelan]

Sounds so yummy! When canning mom always made sure nobody opened a door to case a draft taking the jars out of canner

[@cookingwithsusie8909]

I just bought 10# of jalapenos today! So excited to use your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing a purist version! I'm not into all of the other spices either. Love you content and channel. I feel blessed to have found it. Have a fabulous day!

[@christabowman922]

Perfect timing! I just got a ton of peppers from the farmers market to try this recipe since I’ve heard soooo many people talk about it this year! Thank you!

[@christabowman922]

Ok Becky, turns out I bought habaneros 🤦‍♀️ so I made the spiciest cowgirl candy that you’ve ever seen. I was sweating and sneezing when I made it. One of my friends loved it but this weekend I bought jalapeños at the farmers market because I didn’t grow enough hot peppers this year to try this again! 😂

[@muddyriver1235]

Omg Becky! I had never heard of cowboy candy before, I ran out and got the jalapeños, my husband helped, he ground them more like relish rather than slicing, we followed your instructions. We LOVE it! It is now our must have table condiment. Thank you so much. I love your videos, I learn so much, stay your authentic awesome self.

[@rogermatson6159]

We made this for the first time last year. It turned out great. Our plantings this year reflect the desire to make even more Cowgirl Candy this year. Enjoy your videos.

[@MsMarnold]

You are just wonderful to watch. Thank you so much. I made this last year and had to look you up again. Everyone in my family loves this recipe, thanks again:)

[@brandier5069]

You should pickle the jalapeños in vinegar With some onions and carrots! It’s so good! My mom buys the canned ones from the store! But I bet the fresh ones would taste better!!

[@cherriekinsey8529]

Use the brine to use in mixed drinks that calls for simple syrup. Taste great with a kick of heat.

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

I made a ground cherry and jalapeño jam that I pour over cream cheese too. It's AMAZING! I used a low sugar pectin since the ground cherries are already so sweet.

[@aimeehodgin6359]

I love Cowboy Candy! When I returned to the place we retired outta the Military, I got posted in our towns newspaper when I made my cowboy candy. I am so glad for spicy things in my life! Hahaha! I truly enjoy watching you! 2 Thumbs up! :) Have an awesome day!

I made your recipe last year and they are addicting. Thanks for sharing

[@clarissalannutti2718]

Great video, I'm in Australia and recently found your channel this year I'm upping my canning game from just jams, relishes and pasta sauce to have more variety and preserve my crops ... really love your casual down to earth style of teaching and appreciate the videos. Definitely going to make this thats for sure :)

[@ntheobsn]

Another recipe after my own heart! This looks absolutely delicious, I’m starting my canning journey following your channel (every tip is appreciated!). My garden is small being in NYC but it brings a surplus of joy and decently abundant. Until next time, Becky! 😊

[@amandasmeltzer20]

I always love watching your videos and after getting SO MANY jalapeños from my garden this year I decided to do my first ever canning project. I knew to come straight back to this video and make some cowboy candy. They are cooling down now and I couldn't be more proud! Thanks for all the inspiration, Becky!

[@valerierouse9812]

I love this stuff on a homemade bagel with cream cheese. Omg.

[@markp2830]

This is the greatest Recipe I have ever found... I can not get enough of these, I too eat them on everything. I did the original 3lb recipe and loved it so much that I went through those few jars immediately. I then went out and bought 12 more lbs of Japanenos to make a second batch... Thank you for such a GREAT receipe.

I have made this and enjoy it a lot. You are making me want to get a jar and dig in. It’s very addicting.

I was looking through videos to make cowboy candy for friends. thanks for all that you do. also LOVE your new kitchen!! this old one was dark. love the light in the new one and SPACE for all your cooking and canning.

[@jillianbrockway4947]

I just made this yesterday! It is SOOOOO AMAZING! Thank you for the inspiration! I added some yellow and red bell peppers as well for a pop of color.

[@connievassilev7911]

I love to use both red and green jalapenos in mine. I can them in jelly jars because that is about the perfect amount to serve poured over cream cheese. And the colored peppers make the jars look so festive for Christmas. For friends and family, we don't do individual gifts any longer. We do family basket gifts. So I'll put jar of cowboy candy, block of cream cheese, box of crackers, maybe a jar of homemade jelly, , box of homemade Russian tea mix, box of popcorn and a family movie.

[@chellybelle77]

Thank you, I'm gonna do this one, I usually make pepper jelly to gift at the holidays. This would be a fun change. I never thought of serving it with cream cheese and crackers, yum! My mouth is watering!

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Using your recipe I canned a batch of this last fall. I’m not a hot spicey food person but my husband is and he loved it! This last weekend our family was together for dinner and I made tacos etc. I put a jar of the jalapeños out. My son added them to his taco and said, “wow! mom these are hot! Delicious but because of the name the heat surprised me.”lol. He also commented with a wink, “what a great gift several jars of these would be.” I just smiled and thought a comment like that would make you happy knowing how much you enjoy showing love and making others happy with the food you make. Thank you for sharing with us!! 🌶 And yes, I’ll be making several batches next year!

It is the seeds that make it very spicy. Slice the peppers length wise and scrape out the seeds. Wear gloves too.

[@judyhernandez3391]

Hi Becky and friends. I started buying Cowboy Candy at farmers markets about 20 years ago. Started buying by the cases so that I could gift it to family or office and church friends! Everyone loves it!That gets expensive!! Now I make a version that is called Cowgirl Candy. Instead of slicing peppers I dice them along with a large red onion and a few red peppers. Makes a prettier presentation for Christmas gift giving. I also do not change the amounts of ingredients for brine and will have enough brine left over still to can a couple of jars for marinating chick or pork before grilling. I do add the spices because that was the first recipe that I found. Happy Canning!!!

[@klcpca]

I canned Cowboy Candy a couple of years ago. I had 25, 1/2 pints of our homegrown jalapeños. I also canned the leftover juice from them and it makes a WONDERFUL basting sauce for meats and when barbecuing. Or, when just throwing a beef or pork roast in the oven or crockpot.

[@JaneDoe42011]

I like to chop it up & put it in my tuna salad for sandwiches. The leftover liquid is pure cooking gold. I'm trying your recipe today so I'm back here today to watch this video again. Thanks for posting it.

[@shernettesimmons2023]

Recently found your videos (like 2 wks ago and I LOVE them). I have been making Candied Jalapeno for about a year now. I've never used a water-bath because I usually only do about 5 lbs (hand-cut) and send some home with each of my parents. I usually end up with about 2 jars which I just keep in the fridge. OMG, it goes great on pretty much everything. I did make some Cranberry Jam / Sauce in Jan of this year and that was the 1st time I had even thought of making it & I used a water-bath for that. I thought I sent some home with each of my parents (but my mom said she didn't get any) and I was going to make another jar for myself but never got around to it - this year for sure. My dad said my uncle loved it when he took 2 jars to him & asked for more so I guess it was good. I just have to buy a canning funnel and tongs. I did recently make some pepper sauce and I'm currently waiting the my parents to come visit in a few weeks so we can try it. That is the extent of my jarring stuff so far but I can tell I'll be trying more stuff from your videos.

Just made my first batch! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! Used to buy them for a long time - then a few years back the company stopped making them... Hope to make this a family / gift giving thing year round :)
