Make well ahead of time, even days. Just make sure to keep tightly covered or sealed in plastic bag so no freezer flavors are absorbed.

1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Line a small loaf pan or other mold with plastic wrap, leaving some plastic wrap hanging over the edges.
  • Combine jalapeno, whole milk and 1/2 cup of the sugar in a saucepan and heat until steaming, stirring often. Remove milk from heat and let cool to room temperature.
