The jalape\u00f1os are sliced and then candied in a mix of sugars, vinegar, and spices. If you\u2019ve never tried cowboy candy before, I can see how it may seem like an unusual combination of flavors, but trust me on this one. It\u2019s amazing! You can use it as a topping for nachos, in salads, on burgers, or even in appetizers to add a flavorful kick to your favorite dishes.<\/p>\n<p>This is one condiment you won\u2019t be able to get enough of. Swap out your typical relish and use cowboy candy instead! It has sweetness, spice, and everything nice! You\u2019ll be addicted after you try it. It makes any dish taste gourmet and gives it the best complex flavor.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-in-cowboy-candy\">Ingredients in Cowboy Candy<\/h2>\n<p>Each of these ingredients adds its own flair to cowboy candy, creating that perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and a little extra something that makes it so tasty!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jalapeno Peppers:<\/strong> Slice them up! Then when they\u2019re cooked, they bring the heat that gives cowboy candy its spicy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong> This is the sweet stuff that balances out the spicy jalape\u00f1os.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar:<\/strong> Adds a cozy, caramel-like sweetness to the mix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apple Cider Vinegar:<\/strong> Adds a little tanginess, keeping the flavor exciting and complementing the sweetness of the sugars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> For a savory kick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili Powder:<\/strong> Adds more spice and a deeper chili taste. Adjust depending on how hot you want your cowboy candy to be.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/ground-tumeric-2oz-good-38-gather-8482\/-\/A-84669676#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turmeric Powder<\/a>:<\/strong> Adds a golden color and also gives the cowboy candy a subtle earthy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/celery-seed-1-9oz-good-38-gather-8482\/-\/A-84671510#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Celery Seed<\/a> (Optional):<\/strong> If you like a hint of crunch and a gentle celery taste, this is your guy.

You\u2019re going to want to put this spicy-sweet condiment on everything!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Prepare Jalapenos: <\/strong>Cut off the jalape\u00f1o stems then slice them into uniform 1\/8-1\/4 inch rounds. Set aside. I recommend using gloves when working with hot peppers!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar Mixture: <\/strong>In a medium saucepan, add the sugars, vinegar, garlic and spices. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 6 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook Jalapenos: <\/strong>Add the jalape\u00f1os, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the peppers start to look shrunken and glossy, about 6-8 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add to a Jar: <\/strong>Transfer the jalape\u00f1os to a pint-sized mason jar or glass container using a slotted spoon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cover With Syrup: <\/strong>Use a ladle to pour the leftover syrup over the jalape\u00f1os until they are submerged. Don\u2019t fill them too much with the syrup because it will spill over when you add the lid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store in the Fridge: <\/strong>Cool to room temperature before covering with a lid and refrigerating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"6-photo collage of the jalapenos being sliced and cooked in a sugar mixture.\" class=\"wp-image-228399\" title=\"Cowboy candy is a spicy and sweet condiment made from jalape\u00f1o peppers.
