Cowboy Candy AKA Candied Jalapeños

 On the TODAY show Matt Abdoo made these and since we just harvested ours from the garden decided to try them out. Kevin tried one and was "mmm-HOLY S- damn" Good but not to be eaten alone will be great on a burger or sandwich!

 2 cups granulated sugar 

2 cups apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

 

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 

1 pound fresh jalapeños,sliced into 1/4-inch rings(about 10 jalapeños)  

  1. In a medium-sized saucepot, combine the granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, granulated garlic and kosher salt, and bring to a boil. Whisk the mixture to help dissolve the sugar. 

2. Once the liquid comes to a boil, carefully pour the sliced jalapeños into the boiling liquid (adding the jalapeños will cool off the liquid and cause it to stop boiling). 

3. Stir the jalapeñostogether with the candy liquid and bring the pot back to a boil. 

4. Once it comes back to a boil, turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove. 

5. Allow the jalapeños to to sit in the liquid until it comes down to room temperature then transfer the candied jalapeños into a food-safe, airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
