THE COWGIRL CANDY CANNING RECIPE | Bonus: Why We Can Our Food

[@juju55488]

the jalapeno juice/marinade leftover - I have an idea - I would make jalapeno gummies especially good around cold and flu season. the capsicum in the pepper is good for the throat. The sugar makes them edible but still spicy. On cold days and nights that capsicum would warm a body up.

[@KellySandra716]

interesting

[@connierodenburg129]

[@mollyjoy7820]

Brilliant! Maybe even add a few into a hot cup of bone broth!

[@thewannabehomestead4899]

I used the left over brine to can finely sliced onions! I did them exactly the same way as the Jalapenos and they're soooo good! Great on burgers and sandwiches!

[@trishiatripp8871]

I was just thinking about canning my 4 pound of elephant garlic.

Thank you folks, just made this for the first time, using 16 pounds of my last jalapeños from 2 plants. First time canner, all of the lids popped, great sound.

[@1870s]

Awesome! Feels good doesn't it!

[@sallywasagoodolgal]

This is the recipe I used the time before last. It took me 5 flippin' hours of hunting to find this again. This is a GREAT recipe! I'm writing it down (this time) in the back of my mother's cookbook. (I'll never get rid of that one. Ever.)

[@erikablankenship1496]

“Go wash your hands!” Bahahaha love it. You guys are adorable.

[@joslac5018]

I’ve seen recipes where the brine gets boiled down until it thickens a bit, before adding it to the jars full of peppers. That might decrease the amount of brine left over. Gives a thicker consistency to the finished product.

[@mallorymyers8352]

Hello there, I made your cowboy candy and I loved it. One thing I did with the leftover syrup was that I reduced it and made a very sticky, thick syrup. I now have used that in other recipes, I tossed brussel sprouts in it and so far that’s my favorite. I’m a huge fan of your page, I myself am from Monroe and don’t live there anymore. It’s nice to watch the two of you, it reminds me of home. ❤️

[@malva4838]

I canned it too! I liked it with shrimp over rice with veggies too

[@daviddionne8296]

Leftover....AKA “Spur Sauce”

[@gardengrammie3]

I cook it down to a thicker syrup as well. I love to pour a jar of the peppers and syrup over a block of cream cheese and watch it just pour so nicely since it's thick!!

[@kshoe5004]

I’m definitely gonna try this and I would also like to try the gummy’s that somebody had the idea for for flu season

[@kshoe5004]

So, you guys don’t discard the remaining brine? I canned mine and then read somewhere that it shouldn’t be saved that way 😢

[@watercopper]

My favorite ,family loves this I also make it with pineapple.With the pineapple it is called Hawaiian cowboy candy.

[@debbibiggins8356]

Cowboy candy on burgers, with ketchup and mustard is fabulous. Also, a splash of the syrup in a margarita takes it to a different level..

[@1870s]

ooh. Never thought about cocktail hour.... Hmmm

[@underhermantle3206]

Could freeze some as ice cubes to add to cocktails for a sweet & spicy kick!

[@tracybruring7560]

i am 61 this year and just fell in love with peppers. I like this recipe. I mix peppers in with home canned beans, fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, sometimes cooled brown rice with a dressing made with homemade fermented mayo, vinegar, and oregano

[@savannahmccurry6033]

Have you ever made pepper jelly? If so, I'd love to see a video of you preparing it. I'm loving your channel!

[@theheritagehousesc]

We love cowboy candy! We do slices and use it everywhere from salad to stakes and everything in between! I need to make some more for we are down to the last jar. Here is the recipe I follow and it’s delicious! I also add other peppers like my cajun peppers or whatever grows in the garden at the time. I use red and green for color. Hey, we eat with our eyes first 😂. 3 lbs jalapenos, fresh and firm 2 cups cider vinegar 6 cups granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed 3 teaspoons granulated garlic 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1 Tablespoon Mustard Seed Wearing gloves, remove the stems from all of the jalapeno peppers. The easiest way to do this is to slice a small disc off of the stem-end along with the stem. Discard the stems. Slice the peppers into uniform 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Set aside. In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, white sugar, turmeric, celery seed, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pepper slices and simmer for exactly 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers, loading into clean, sterile canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar. Turn heat up under the pot with the syrup and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 6 minutes. Use a ladle to pour the boiling syrup into the jars over the jalapeno slices. Insert a cooking chopstick to the bottom of the jar two or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust the level of the syrup if necessary. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp paper towel and fix on new, two-piece lids to finger-tip tightness. *If you have leftover syrup, and it is likely that you will, you may can it in half-pint or pint jars, too. It’s wonderful brushed on meat on the grill or added to potato salad or, or, or… In short, don’t toss it out! Place jars in a canner, cover with water by 2-inches. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. When it reaches a full rolling boil, set the timer for 10 minutes for half-pints or 15 minutes for pints. When timer goes off, use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a cooling rack. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. When fully cooled, wipe them with a clean, damp washcloth then label. Allow to mellow for at least two weeks, but preferably a month before eating. Or don’t.

[@DKFisher]

I have used in Mexican cornbread and it was wonderful!

[@Winteryears]

I agree with your message on freezer storage vs canning. Two years ago the remnants of Hurricane Fiona left me without power for three weeks - I lost a freezer full of meat.

[@bikerleathertv]

I totally understand the canning rather than freezing! I live in the Florida Panhandle and in 2018 we were struck by Hurricane Michael, a Category 5 hurricane. Our power was out for 31 days!! Because we evacuated, we lost everything in our freezer and refrigerator. Had all that food been canned, we would not have lost it, so I can definitely relate.

[@abigailhaddock7319]

Used 14 lbs of mixed hot and sweet peppers that were gifted to me to make cowboy candy today. Ended up with lots of syrup left over. I canned that up to so when my garden peppers are harvested I can make some more!

[@elizabethschmucker4559]

I made this today but I didn’t have enough jalapeños so I added banana peppers. I used the left over “syrup” to make cornbread. It’s absolutely delicious.

[@amyroberts7248]

Good to know cause I have a few banana peppers out in the garden but not enough to really do anything with so Im going to add them in today thank you

[@juliewychor]

I love cowboy candy! I can up the extra syrup to use for cooking, etc. It’s such good stuff! I agree with you about gas stoves and canning instead of freezing; we have a gas stove for that same reason. Last summer after a bad thunderstorm knocked out our power, I was still able to can spaghetti sauce from my tomatoes.

[@gingermaclean1402]

Thank you for the suggestion of chopping it up instead of slicing up the typical rings. It is so much more versatile and the hubby loves it!!!

[@TheFarnhamHomestead]

Definitely canning this year!!!!.... It is absolutely horrible to loose your garden and what you've canned, under any circumstances. In August of '21 my husband's and my homestead got flash flooded and was covered in 7ft of water. I was growing enough to can many items for a year. It was just awful. We lost our home as well, and are living in a camper now, but I found the space to to start my seeds! Have actually been suffering from depression on and off, and the last few days have been binging your channel...getting inspired, and finding comfort watching you! ❤️❤️

I've been making this stuff for years. How Cowboy Candy isn't a condiment in every household I have no idea. It's great on burgers, hot dogs, crackers with cream cheese, especially good on pizza. And that juice is liquid gold as a marinade...great for steaks, pork chops, chicken, fish...oh, marinate some prawns in that stuff and grill up some skewers. 😋 I'm with you on the size thing. I used to do slices, and they're fine, but I prefer the smaller chunks. Since I grow lots of peppers I like to change it up from jalapeño once in a while. Serrano makes for excellent cowboy candy. I've also done it using a combination of sweet peppers & habaneros...super tasty.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

If you re-use your leftover liquid for another batch, be sure to readd some vinegar since the peppers of the first batch will have watered-down the acidity in your leftover liquid.

I just can’t get the hang of electric. I remember popping popcorn at a family member’s house and I set the plastic bowl down on a burner that was just used-yeah, it had perfect rings melted through. I’m sure the new glass tops are easier to clean than the heavy grated gas stoves, but that’s the sacrifice. Plus I recently had a glass shelf that covers the crispers in the fridge Totally Explode in my hands during cleaning! Not a fan of glass. We replaced it with plexiglass. I’m not sure who designs appliances, but I think I missed my calling. Do any of those engineers think 💭 about how these appliances get cleaned? I have words every time I clean the cooling fins under my fridge. We just ordered an upright freezer because I’m tired of searching for items, defrosting and standing on my head to reach the bottom. Most have glass shelves and I don’t understand that as it will impeach air flow. And I’m not up for another Exploding glass event. Good job canning in the dark.😊

Incidentally I have found if you touch the peppers with bare hands (accidently or otherwise) regular soap and water doesn't remove the oil as well as washing with milk. Weird but works for me.

I plan on making it this year. Just made a small batch of jalapeno pepper jelly which came out tasty but hubby will like the cowboy candy
