Candied Jalapeños
These sweet and spicy candied jalapeños are the perfect condiment!
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ teaspoon whole mustard seed
- ¾ teaspoon whole coriander seed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon celery seed
- ¾ lb jalapeños
Instructions
- Have a clean glass jar ready.
- Wash and dry the jalapenos.
- Cut the stems off and slice into ¼” thick rounds. Discard any seeds that fall out during cutting.
- In a pot or saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, and all the spices. Heat over medium, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the sliced jalapenos and return to the heat, cooking for 12-15 minutes until the jalapenos are soft and have started to absorb the sugar.
- Strain the jalapenos into the prepared glass jar using a slotted spoon, leaving the liquid in the pot.
- If you would like to remove some of the seasonings remove them with a fine mesh strainer at this point.
- Return the liquid to medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half and is a very thick syrup.
- Pour the syrup over the jalapenos and place the lid on. Allow to cool before eating.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Take care when cutting a large amount of peppers. To prevent any burning on your hands, wear gloves.
