● 1 pound jalapeño peppers approximately 20 jalapeños,

sliced into rings

● 2 cups sugar

● 2/3 cup cider vinegar

● 2 tablespoons mustard seed

● 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

● 1/4 teaspoon celery seed

● 1 tablespoon garlic powder

● 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small pot, add all ingredients except for the jalapeños.

Bring the pot to a quick boil, then lower the heat to simmer

the mix for 5 minutes.

2. Add the jalapeño pepper rings and simmer for 5 additional

minutes.

3. Scoop the jalapeños out of the liquid and place them

evenly across two pint-sized canning jars. Top the jars with

the sugar-vinegar, leaving 1/4 inch of head space in each

jar. Cover with airtight lids.

4. Place the jars in a large pot and fill the pot with hot water.

Cover the two pint jars by two inches.

5. Turn the range heat to high and bring the hot water bath to

a boil, then allow the jars to sit in the bath for 10 minutes.

6. Carefully remove the jars from the hot water bath and set

them to the side to cool. Refrigerate the candied jalapeños

once the jars reach room temperature.

7. Eat once chilled, or for best flavor allow the cowboy candy

to sit at least overnight.
