Canning cowboy candy, also known as candied jalapeos, is a process of preserving the spicy peppers in a sweet and tangy syrup. The resulting cowboy candy is a versatile condiment that can be used to add a kick to tacos, sandwiches, salads, and more.
Cowboy candy is easy to make and can be customized to your desired level of sweetness and heat. The basic ingredients include jalapeo peppers, sugar, vinegar, and water. Some recipes also call for the addition of other spices, such as garlic, ginger, or cumin. Once the ingredients are combined, they are simmered together until the peppers are softened and the syrup has thickened. The cowboy candy is then canned and processed in a water bath canner to ensure that it is shelf-stable.
