If you are a pansy you can remove the seeds/membrane from the jalapenios, that takes out most of the heat. Can be eaten immediately, however best when cured for 1-2 weeks. My family loves to spread this candy along with cream cheese on a wheat thin.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 lb jalapenos, fresh
2 lb diced onions
1/2 c vinegar
1/2 c water
6 to 8 c sugar
2 Tbsp mustard seed
1 tsp turmeric, ground
2 tsp celery seed
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp ginger powder

Steps:

  • 1. Slice jalapenos into thin slices and dice onions (I would suggest a pair of rubber gloves for handling jalapenos.) Place in pan with water and vinegar, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until tender.(DO NOT TOUCH FACE OR BREATH THE FUMES.)
  • 2. Pour off most of the water/vinegar mixture, add the sugar and spices bring to soft candy temperature to completely dissolve sugar, about 10 minutes.
  • 3. Place boiling mixture into warm/sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Put on caps and place rings on loosely. Tighten the rings once the jars are completely cooled.
