candied jalapenos
Comments (12)I know they are not Candied Jalapenos, but they are really good. I send them by the case to my Uncle in Texas. He can't get enough of them. Jay Here is a great canning recipe for Jalapenos. I probably made over 50 pints last year. Recipe: Bread and Butter Jalapenos This makes a very tasty and spicy addition to almost any meal. Bread and Butter Jalapenos 4 lbs jalepeno peppers 2 lbs onions 3 cups vinegar 2 cups sugar 2 Tbs mustard seed 2 tsp turmeric 2 tsp celery seed 1 tsp ginger Wash and cut jalapenos and onions into thin slices and cold pack into jars (I would suggest a pair of rubber gloves for handling jalapenos, personal experience!). I usually chop all the onions and pepper and dump in a 2 gallon ziptop bag, then mix. Place remaining ingredients in large saucepot and bring to a boil. Pour hot mixture into jars,leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield: about 7 Pints. I always make 1.5 batches of brine, there never seems to be enough. I also run everything through a food processor. It makes it alot easier to prepare. Good Luck!...See MoreAnybody have a SAFE recipe for.........
Comments (15)It's funny, because I was just on Allrecipes looking for a refrigerator cucumber salad recipe when I noticed this. Never heard of it before, and then, not an hour later I read this post on the GW forum. You'll have to get Carol or Linda Lou or someone to weigh in on the safety of it. Here's a recipe for this from Allrecipes: Christmas Red Pickles INGREDIENTS (Nutrition) 7 pounds large cucumbers 1 cup pickling lime (calcium hydroxide) 2 teaspoons red food coloring 1 teaspoon powdered alum 1 cup distilled white vinegar 7 cups white sugar 2 cups distilled white vinegar 2 cups water 1 cup cinnamon red hot candies 4 cinnamon sticks DIRECTIONS Peel cucumbers, halve lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the cucumber into 1/4 inch half circles, and place into a glass or ceramic crock. Dissolve the pickling lime in about 1 quart of room temperature water, pour over the cucumbers, then add additional water until the cucumbers are covered by 1/2 inch. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Drain the cucumbers and rinse well with cold water. Place into a large stockpot, and cover with cold water. Allow to stand for 3 hours, then drain and rinse again. Return the cucumbers to the pot, add the food coloring, alum, 1 cup vinegar, and enough water to cover by 1/2 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 2 hours. Once the cucumbers have cooked for 2 hours, drain and allow to cool a bit before placing into the glass or ceramic jar. Stir together 2 cups vinegar, 2 cups water, cinnamon red hot candies, and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar and candies dissolve. Pour this mixture over the warm cucumbers, cover, and let stand overnight. Pack pickles into pint jars, and process in a hot water bath for 15 to 20 minutes. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal....See Morecandied chili peppers? does this sound okay?
Comments (5)Are you wondering if it's safe, do-able or worthwhile? I've candied fruits using the basic method described, though usually in stage #1 the fruit is gently simmered in the syrup. Of course, fruit presents different density and water-content issues than peppers. So reading through the description, it is definitely do-able. I think whether it's worth doing depends on how well you and the members of your circle like chile peppers and how open they are to eating chocolate-covered peppers or whatever the application might be. The candied habanero cheesecake does sound interesting. Carol...See Morecandied jalapenos
Comments (10)Ree ( Pioneer Woman makes the best! Cowboy Candy * 3 pounds Firm, Fresh Jalapeno Peppers, Washed * 2 cups Cider Vinegar * 6 cups White Granulated Sugar * one half teaspoons Turmeric * one half teaspoons Celery Seed * 3 teaspoons Granulated Garlic * 1 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper Preparation Instructions Wearing gloves, remove the stems from all of the jalapeno peppers. The easiest way to do this is to slice a small disc off of the stem-end along with the stem. Discard the stems. Slice the peppers into uniform 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Set aside. In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, white sugar, turmeric, celery seed, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pepper slices and simmer for exactly 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers, loading into clean, sterile canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar. Turn heat up under the pot with the syrup and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 6 minutes. Use a ladle to pour the boiling syrup into the jars over the jalapeno slices. Insert a cooking chopstick to the bottom of the jar two or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust the level of the syrup if necessary. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp paper towel and fix on new, two-piece lids to finger-tip tightness. If you do not want to can these to the point of shelf stable, you can simply put the jars in your refrigerator and store them there. I prefer to keep the fridge space free so I can them. If you wish to can them, follow the instructions below. Note: If you have leftover syrup, and it is likely that you will, you may can it in half-pint or pint jars, too. It�s wonderful brushed on meat on the grill or added to potato salad or, or, or � in short, don�t toss it out! To can, place jars in a canner and cover with water by 2-inches. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. When it reaches a full rolling boil, set the timer for 10 minutes for half-pints or 15 minutes for pints. When timer goes off, use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a cooling rack. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. When fully cooled, wipe them with a clean, damp washcloth, then label. Allow to mellow for at least two weeks, but preferably a month before eating. Or don�t. I won�t tell! Here is a link that might be useful: Pioneer Woman...See Moreplllog
