Best Sweet Texas Caviar Recipes

SWEET TEXAS CAVIAR

Sweet Texas Caviar image

Not a spicy dish like the other Texas Caviars out there, so I'm calling it 'sweet' due to the sugar. I got this from a friend several years ago and it has been a family favorite ever since. My brother-in-law goes crazy over it. It's a great party or potluck food. We always serve it on Fritos 'scoops', but tortilla chips would work, too.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 can of pinto beans, drained
1 can of blackeyed peas, drained
1 can of shoepeg corn
1 jalepeno
1 red onion
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 orange pepper
1/4 cup oil (original recipe is 1/2 cup, but I don't think that much is necessary)
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup sugar (I used baking Splenda to save on calories)
3/4 cup cider vinegar

Steps:

Chop up all the peppers, onion, and jalepeno (this is where having a chopper is nice, especially since I usually make triple batches for parties)
Put the oil, pepper, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to boil to dissolve and then let cool.
Mix all the ingredients together and let sit in fridge overnight.
