Easy 3 Ingredient Candied Jalapenos | How to Make Cowboy Candy with Just 3 Simple Ingredients

In this video, I show you how to make easy, 3 ingredient, candied jalapenos. Candied jalapenos are also known as Cowboy Candy.
I've been growing jalapenos in my AeroGarden, and had more than I knew what to do with. I intended to make stuff jalapenos, but hadn't gotten around to it. Many of the jalapenos were turning red, and I knew that I needed to do something with them, or risk losing them. I got the idea to make candied jalapenos. I knew that cowboy candy is quick and easy to make, and that making it would be a good way to preserve the jalapenos. In this video, I show you how to make candied jalapenos that you don't need to can. But I also give instructions on how to can it if you want your cowboy candy to be shelf stable and last a long time.
If you'd like to know how to make cowboy candy with just 3 simple ingredients, this is the video for you!

I have watched a lot of video on this lately, and yours has been the most helpful. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. Love the red and green colors that you ended up with.

[@StockingMyPantry]

I have no idea why I just saw this comment! Thanks for your kind words. And I agree about loving the mix of colors!

[@uglyhousewiferose7037]

Hi Rebecca, 🌻 I have never heard of cowboy candy. This is an interesting video. Thanks for sharing.

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thank you, Rose! I hope you're doing well. I'll hope on over to your channel to see what you're up to!

[@sherrywilliams409]

They are very pretty. I bet they really look pretty in the jar

[@StockingMyPantry]

They do! And they are so tasty!

[@SimpleSouthernReflections]

This sounds so very good, I have never heard of cowboy candy but it looks very tasty. 🥰🥰🥰

[@StockingMyPantry]

It's so good! If you don't like it spicy, you can remove the seeds and membrane before making it.

[@janerodriguez4734]

I’m Mexican and have jalapeño experience so just FYI when you have strips or vein like on your jalapeños it’s a sign of HOT. Love your recipe because it’s small enough for one sitting ❤

[@StockingMyPantry]

Nice to know, thank you! Now I won't worry as much when mine get the stripes. In spite of my best intentions, I don't always harvest right away. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

[@bettye444]

Good to know.

[@worldcooking]

Interesting recipe!

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy the recipe. :)

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

I am curious how it taste like. thanks for sharing!

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thanks for watching! It's sweet and spicy. I may remove at least some of the seeds and membranes next time to keep all the flavor, without the heat!

[@delicious5378]

Wow awesome 💕

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thanks 🤗

[@bettye444]

I have just enough peppers for about a full pint. This is exactly the recipe I was looking for. Thanks for posting.

[@StockingMyPantry]

I'm glad to hear that! You're very welcome.

[@bettye444]

@@StockingMyPantryi did my peppers yesterday just as your directions said and they came out great. Had 1.2 pts. Will do this again!

[@StockingMyPantry]

@@bettye444 awesome! So glad to hear that. I appreciate the update. :)

[@benimakitchencrafts2198]

Super 👌

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@akshatasrecipes]

I Loved this share so much,thanks so much ,.stay connected and posts more lovely videos,always enjoy watching your channel,Best wishes Akshata.

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thank you, I will. :)

[@toddgiaro7657]

Hold the stem when you slice them, it really helps if you’re not using gloves. Great recipe and video.

[@StockingMyPantry]

Good tip! And I appreciate your comment. Hope you enjoy them!

[@gunnerzane5230]

They're great in grits..

[@StockingMyPantry]

I haven't tried that, but now I want to!

[@Winterlily20]

I made this recipe, except i used a drained 4lb jar of Jalapeño wheels. Boiled up the Jalapeño and vinegar and sugar, poured it back into the heated jar, and put it into the refrigerator. Just made a 3rd batch :) yummmmm

[@StockingMyPantry]

Sounds like a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@sugadropandsnacks]

Nice Video

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thanks

[@SilverPreppingGrandma]

I've heard of cowboy candy, never knew how it was made. Is it hot? Thank you for showing us how to make it.

[@StockingMyPantry]

It's pretty spicy! But also sweet. You can remove the seeds before doing the rest of it if you don't want the heat.

[@warchitect73]

OOOOoooo.. gonna try this soon.

[@StockingMyPantry]

I hope you love it!

[@warchitect73]

Didn't know this was a thing till now. I love jalapenos tho. So perfect fit!

[@chefprem9]

Nice post like this

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thank you!

[@Maplecook]

I just had these tonight! haha

[@StockingMyPantry]

Yum! Did you leave the seeds it? Mine were pretty spicy!

[@Maplecook]

@@StockingMyPantry Yes, I sure did! The batch was hit & miss. Some were as fireless as bell peppers while others were HOT. haha

[@StockingMyPantry]

That's the thing - you never know what you're going to get with peppers. I kind of regretted how hot mine were, but I couldn't stop eating them.

[@jennatanghe5791]

Does it need salt if you plan on canning it?

[@ajreberjr]

umm .. if you hold them by the stem and cut ...won't that be a bit better than cutting the stem off first ?

[@StockingMyPantry]

You can cut them however you want.

[@hannahw451]

How long g does it last in the fridge?

[@StockingMyPantry]

Great question. I make a point of eating it within a month. If you want it to last longer, it's best to water bath can it.

[@psupoppy3582]

I hold the stem to slice the jalapeños making it much easier instead of cutting it off

[@StockingMyPantry]

Great tip, thank you!

[@ShitShaker-hn6ws]

Can you freeze it ?

[@StockingMyPantry]

Good question. I haven't tried it, so I can't say for sure. I'd try it with a small amount to see what happens with the texture. I would personally can it if I wanted to have it longer term.

[@maryjayne8746]

jump tp 3:00 for the recipe.

[@StockingMyPantry]

Thanks for sharing.

[@azaleaacres]

We love cowboy candy. I remove the seeds and the ribs so it’s not too hot 🥵

[@StockingMyPantry]

I might do that next time because these were pretty spicy! Still good, though, but I needed to eat them on something like a bagel with cream cheese, so I could handle the heat. Next time I'll probably remove at least some of the seeds!

[@marieparks9168]

why cut off so much at the stem end? there's at least another slice you are throwing away

[@StockingMyPantry]

Good point! Though I will say that the stem end is often very thick and has a lot of membrane and other undesirable aspects.

[@lauralee6432]

You don’t have to adjust to the elevation.

[@StockingMyPantry]

You do if you are canning it. With water bath canning, you adjust the amoutn of time. With pressure canning, you adjust the amount of pressure.
