Recipe adapted from Rebecca Lindamood/Foodie with Family.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 1 pint
Ingredients
- 1 pound jalapeño peppers, stems removed and cut into ¼-inch slices
- ⅔ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
-
Combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, turmeric, and ground cayenne in a medium pot. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes.
-
Add the jalapeño slices. Return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 4 minutes.
-
Remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the peppers to a glass jar using a slotted spoon. Ladle the cooking syrup into the jar, covering the peppers by about ½ inch.
-
Allow peppers to cool in the jar. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for up to two months.
Candied jalapeños can be eaten right away but they taste better after a few days. The flavor develops over time.
-
If you want, store the remaining syrup in the refrigerator and use it in marinades.
