Sweet Fire Jalapenos

Sweet Fire Jalapenos

I bought a jar of these jalapenos at a little shop one time for about $5.00 and fell in love with them. They are so delicious, but I thought that was a little expensive, especially since I can eat them like candy. So, I set out to find a recipe. I can't remember where I found it, but they are so super easy, I'm glad I didn't buy them again.

I took the picture about right after I mixed them up so they're a little cloudy. After they sit in the refrigerator for about 24 hours the syrup gets clear. These are terrific on all kinds of things. My favorite is on hamburgers. You can chop them up and serve as a relish or pour over cream cheese and serve with crackers. I like to chop them up and put them in piminto cheese.

Here's two sizes of batches:

Large recipe

1 quart pickled, sliced jalapenos

2 c. regular granulated sugar

Small recipe

12 ounce jar of pickled, sliced jalapenos

3/4 c. sugar

1. You'll need an empty jar with a lid, preferable wide mouthed, to put them in. I usually save pickle jars and reuse them.

2. Drain jalapenos and rinse with cold water thoroughly several times. I try to get most of the seeds out. Rinse well.

3. Place jalapenos in a bowl, stir in sugar, then pour into your jar. Let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. You may have to shake or stir them a bit to get all the sugar mixed up.

That's it very EASY!
