How to Make Cowboy Candy
- Wash and slice 1 pound of jalapeños lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Remove seeds for less heat. Wear disposable gloves!
- In a medium saucepan, combine the jalapeño slices with 1 cup of water and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick syrup, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let the jalapeños cool completely in the saucepan.
- Pack the candied jalapeños into sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch of headspace.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
