the jalapeno juice/marinade leftover - I have an idea - I would make jalapeno gummies especially good around cold and flu season. the capsicum in the pepper is good for the throat. The sugar makes them edible but still spicy. On cold days and nights that capsicum would warm a body up.

“Go wash your hands!” Bahahaha love it. You guys are adorable.

I used the left over brine to can finely sliced onions! I did them exactly the same way as the Jalapenos and they're soooo good! Great on burgers and sandwiches!

I’ve seen recipes where the brine gets boiled down until it thickens a bit, before adding it to the jars full of peppers. That might decrease the amount of brine left over. Gives a thicker consistency to the finished product.

Cowboy candy on burgers, with ketchup and mustard is fabulous. Also, a splash of the syrup in a margarita takes it to a different level..

Been a staple in our family for three generations, learned from my Mawmaw. She was raised on our families farm outside of Tyler, Tx. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you folks, just made this for the first time, using 16 pounds of my last jalapeños from 2 plants. First time canner, all of the lids popped, great sound.

My favorite ,family loves this I also make it with pineapple.With the pineapple it is called Hawaiian cowboy candy.

Thank you for this! Cowboy candy was a new thing for me here in Australia but you now have us (and a few of my friends) addicted!

Hello there, I made your cowboy candy and I loved it. One thing I did with the leftover syrup was that I reduced it and made a very sticky, thick syrup. I now have used that in other recipes, I tossed brussel sprouts in it and so far that’s my favorite. I’m a huge fan of your page, I myself am from Monroe and don’t live there anymore. It’s nice to watch the two of you, it reminds me of home. ❤️

I have used in Mexican cornbread and it was wonderful!

I love cowboy candy! I can up the extra syrup to use for cooking, etc. It’s such good stuff! I agree with you about gas stoves and canning instead of freezing; we have a gas stove for that same reason. Last summer after a bad thunderstorm knocked out our power, I was still able to can spaghetti sauce from my tomatoes.

Thank you for the suggestion of chopping it up instead of slicing up the typical rings. It is so much more versatile and the hubby loves it!!!

Used 14 lbs of mixed hot and sweet peppers that were gifted to me to make cowboy candy today. Ended up with lots of syrup left over. I canned that up to so when my garden peppers are harvested I can make some more!

Yes cowboy candy is what's up!!! Amazing on everything. I send these babies out as Christmas gifts!

I am loving your channel! Thank you for all these great videos. You two are homestead goals. 😊

The show must go on power or no power. Such a professional!! I am looking forward to trying this recipe. Thanks Rachel

I just started watching your channel yesterday and am enjoying it. You and your husband seem so down to earth I am learning so much from you thank you and you make it look so easy, vicki

Have you ever made pepper jelly? If so, I'd love to see a video of you preparing it. I'm loving your channel!

Oh I will definitely be doing this to add to my other jalapeno canning projects I do every year! I didn't weigh one of the batches of jalapenos I bought but it was a 5 gal bucketful & that was only 1 bunch amongst others. I will grow my own hopefully next year but I'm only just back to my hometown just recently where I own my home here in SW Louisiana, so I did start a fall garden but not the quantity I need. I'm just finding y'all channel & I'm absolutely loving it. So binge watching it is. I do lots of canning, dehydrating, preserving lots for my food storage & nothing goes to waste. Thanks for sharing all the goodness.

How we use Cowboy Candied Jalapenos in our cooking: Add to burger mix, put on tacos, fajitas, add to chili, toss in slaw mix for a spicy slaw, pizza toppings, add to quiches and scrambled eggs, mix into cornbread, these are just a few ways we regularly use it Our favorite Kitchen Gadgets and Tools: www.amazon.com/shop/that1870shomestead?listId=MYSTJ24KIRIR

I have never seen the Kitchen aide chopper! Love that. Need co checkin to that. Great video ! Thanks.

Thank you so much! I learn so much from you and your subscriber's are wonderful, sharing ideas and experience's. Appreciate you all!

Thank you for this video. I'm in my 50s and getting back into canning.. I haven't canned since sometime in my 20s. Today I made a small batch of cowboy candy. And used the extra juice over baked chicken thighs.. over rice. Yum! The actual cowboy candy will be too hot for me. But my kids will love it. Im so glad I found your channel.

Fantastic recipe. I’ve never made it either but will now. Love your how to’s in the kitchen.

My jalepeno plants have been producing like crazy and I finally have 3lbs for this recipe! Im so stoked! :)

Made this last year for the first time when I found your video. Canning some more right now while listening once again. We just finished our last jar from last August. We have 8 kids and surprisingly the majority of them love this stuff!!

I made this recipe a couple of months back and OMG!!! So good,!! I mixed it into my GF corn muffin batter for turkey day...ELEVATED CORN BREAD!!!! So good!!!

We love cowboy candy! We do slices and use it everywhere from salad to stakes and everything in between! I need to make some more for we are down to the last jar. Here is the recipe I follow and it’s delicious! I also add other peppers like my cajun peppers or whatever grows in the garden at the time. I use red and green for color. Hey, we eat with our eyes first 😂. 3 lbs jalapenos, fresh and firm 2 cups cider vinegar 6 cups granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed 3 teaspoons granulated garlic 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1 Tablespoon Mustard Seed 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 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! Place jars in a canner, 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 just made your Cowgirl Candy. And at your suggestion of cutting syrup recipe back by half for chopped jalapeños was perfect! Thanks 😊

Thanks to you, I made this for the first time. I just tried it after waiting the suggested 4 weeks and it’s delicious! The only problem is I didn’t make enough! I will quadruple next year. Thanks for another great canning recipe.

I made my first batch of cowboy candy last season, 2020. I sliced mine kinda thin on a mandolin. Held them by then stem end and sliced till I got close to the stem so I wouldn't have to double handle them. The did shrivel up but that's what I like about them! They aren't real thick and I pile em high on burgers and other sandwiches. I used red and green jalapenos and they're so good!

I adore Cowboy Candy and I am so glad I found this video. I always cut up my jalapenos too. This more relish type is perfect for me since I am the only one who eats this. Thank you so much now I know to half the liquid while making it this way.

Just made a second batch. Mine are kinda between a slice and a dice. I did add a tsp. each of cinnamon and ginger. Love your videos ! They get me to get up and get things done. Thanks !

I love to candy mine but what I love to do with slices is pickle them like my dill pickles and they turn out great also. Keep up the great videos.

i am 61 this year and just fell in love with peppers. I like this recipe. I mix peppers in with home canned beans, fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, sometimes cooled brown rice with a dressing made with homemade fermented mayo, vinegar, and oregano

I grew up just down the road in Tecumseh, MI. I love watching your channel. makes me feel closer to home.

I just made a double batch today! I did it outside on the burner, as my mom has lung issues! Thank you beautiful people!🌻

Thank you. Finally someone on KZfaq that knows how to can jalapeños for cowboy candy. Excellent video

I made this today but I didn’t have enough jalapeños so I added banana peppers. I used the left over “syrup” to make cornbread. It’s absolutely delicious.

Alright, alright, alright!! After years of hearing about this stuff, I decided I needed to fig out what the big deal is so made a batch. I used a mix of jalapenos and cajun belle peppers from my garden just to change things up a bit. I got 5 half pints candy and 5 half pints of leftover brine. The taste of that brine is AMAZING - I couldn't keep my spoon out of it!! I will use it for something - can't wait to try the candy! Oh my!! Thanks for great video!!

So great that you have a farmers market close to you. Great video I want to try this , just did carrots and beets in my new All American canner.

After watching this video my mouth was watering like crazy!!! Definitely going to try to make this! Thank you. 🙂👍🥣

Canning up some of these right now. These are a favorite in our house and we can never seem to have enough. They make great gifts too! Since most of our friends and family can't handle spicy food, I use Nadapenos. We leave out the cayenne and the pepper flakes too. Even the kiddos can eat these! They have the flavor of Jalapenos with NO HEAT. Happy canning!

Hello cool that sounds so good. I am going to have to get some more jalapeno's and make some. My son would love this stuff. Good to know that when the power goes out that the gas stove still works. Thank you for showing us from start to finish how to make the recipe, this really helps. Thank you for sharing God bless stay safe and have a wonderful day

my wife and I used to buy from block's 30 years ago! So cool to know they are still around.

I love harvest canning! Good timing!

I have been canning the cowboy canning for 7 hours and it sure smells really nice. Reminds when my mother canned pickles.

I can't wait to make this and the cowgirl candy! Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks so much for the video and the reference recipe! I will definitely be making this!

This is the recipe I used the time before last. It took me 5 flippin' hours of hunting to find this again. This is a GREAT recipe! I'm writing it down (this time) in the back of my mother's cookbook. (I'll never get rid of that one. Ever.)

A video JUST for me! 😜😂 Thanks Rachel! I live in the UK and hadn't heard of cowboy candy until watching your videos. I can't wait to try this!

Definitely canning this year!!!!.... It is absolutely horrible to loose your garden and what you've canned, under any circumstances. In August of '21 my husband's and my homestead got flash flooded and was covered in 7ft of water. I was growing enough to can many items for a year. It was just awful. We lost our home as well, and are living in a camper now, but I found the space to to start my seeds! Have actually been suffering from depression on and off, and the last few days have been binging your channel...getting inspired, and finding comfort watching you! ❤️❤️

First , this looks yummy. I’ve made this like you mentioned in another way. But I Like Your Version Better*** And wow I need that Kitchen Aide attachment 👍I live in Michigan as well and I know about needing a gas stove. We installed one this year as well ,2 gas heaters. We have a generator hooked up to the house as well last year. So we now can roll it to the house and hook it up. I want to build a box for it so it stays Permanent in its spot , rather than hauling it each time. Especially. During the snow season. Thank You so much enjoyed this Allot****👍

I've been making this stuff for years. How Cowboy Candy isn't a condiment in every household I have no idea. It's great on burgers, hot dogs, crackers with cream cheese, especially good on pizza. And that juice is liquid gold as a marinade...great for steaks, pork chops, chicken, fish...oh, marinate some prawns in that stuff and grill up some skewers. 😋 I'm with you on the size thing. I used to do slices, and they're fine, but I prefer the smaller chunks. Since I grow lots of peppers I like to change it up from jalapeño once in a while. Serrano makes for excellent cowboy candy. I've also done it using a combination of sweet peppers & habaneros...super tasty.

This looks delicious... I have never heard of cowboy candy before today. I can't wait to make some. Thank you, love you're channel!

going to try this tomorrow. Thanks for all you both do

Hi Rachel! Watching you again. I made it for his birthday last year and he loved it but said it wasn't hot enough so this year I'm tossing in some habeneros too! Should add some fun color too.Thanks for your videos. It's lovely to sit down, refresh my memory then get to cooking!

Cowboy candy is one of my Favourite canned snacks! I eat them right from the jar!

My husband and I are doing 3lbs today!! Love your videos!!!❤❤

Oh my! My wife is going to love this recipe! Glad you saved the dog! LOL So nice seeing support for your local farmers markets. Take care and stay safe, Rob

Love your kitchen aid chopper🥰

I'm so doing this, this year! I just brought home about 4 pounds of jalapenos from the fruit stand. Cannot wait!

I made this yesterday, with alternate sweetener (stevia/erythritol blend) and it turned out *so good*!! I added some sweet red peppers for color. Today, when I returned home from church, I realized my house still smells strongly of jalapeños!! ♥️♥️♥️

Great video Rachel and Todd. I've never had Cowboy Candy. Thanks so much for haring, looked easy enough.

This is the best condiment, grew 5kg chillis outside this year, 1st time we have made Cowgirl Candy, its brilliant. We live in Somerset UK have been canning for approx.15 years and use jars with lug lids as are unable, until recently to get proper canning jars, also vv expensive here. Started dehydrating (Excalibur) 3 years ago, now waiting for delivery of a medium sized Harvest Right, thanks for a great channel. K & T

I just got a water bath canner and I am so excited to try this recipe. My son loves Cowboy candy. Thank you for sharing.

This is probably my 5th or 6th time rewatching your video, y’all’s content is so comforting. Thank you for all your hard work with putting out videos!!

Ive only made cowboy candy once and used all kinds of hot peppers and chopped them and everyone loves it !

Thank you I REFERENCED YOUR RECIPE I made some changes based on my pantry and I tasted the syrup OMG delicious I can’t wait to pop open in 2-4 weeks I had syrup left over and will start a new batch or cook with thanks again

I have been canning a long time & never knew you could double stack when water bathing. You just blew my mind lol.

Thank you for this. It is wonderful.

Just want to say I enjoy your video's so much! Thx🙋‍♀️😊

Trying this tomorrow! Pectin, some mint and a small amount of the jalapenos would work great to make some jalapeno mint jelly out of the leftover liquid too!

Hi we are just starting out at our new homestead property . We sold our city homestead due to zone changes. We are new subscribers to your channel and thank you for sharing the recipe for cowboy candy I think it will be a staple on our homestead now just by the name its actually our street lol thank you Rachel blessing to you and your family from our homestead in Arizona... New subscriber Remy

My husband and I love Block's, as well. I am going to make Cowboy Candy for the first time this year.

I finally got around to making cowboy candy. I went ahead and chopped my peppers. Wow, the vinegar was strong and I was coughing up a storm. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

I was literally looking for your video on this, as it was being posted. Lol. Thank you!

Two old birds and one young one in our house...LOL Mom, Dad and adult son. My son LOVES hot spicy food. Thanks for your video. HIs birthday is in September...I'm going to try to find Jalepenos to make him some for his birthday this year. We don't usually purchase anything for birthdays that isn't usable things so this will be a great way to give him something that is only for him!

I love your channel, you are such an inspiration Rachael, thank you😊 new subscriber from Australia 😊

Great video thanks I never knew what cowboy candy was until I saw your video. Maybe I'll need to give it a try!

This is my favorite recipe to can. When you put all that liquid in the pot, then added all those chopped peppers, I thought, no way, but you did it!

I was hoping you would do a video! I looked through last night to see if you had made one about this yet! My peppers are not ready yet but I’m so excited to try these!! I love the idea of dices even better!! I would absolutely use diced over slices

That attachment is awesome. Great recipe ...thanks for sharing.

Hello from Sandusky, Ohio!-Looking for jalapeno jelly and came across your channel w/this recipe. Cant wait to try it out!🙂🌶

This is my first time learning this delicious recipe

I plan on making it this year. Just made a small batch of jalapeno pepper jelly which came out tasty but hubby will like the cowboy candy

You guys are the cutest! Love this recipe too! Jalapeños are my favorite after cilantro

Great video thanks for sharing, bet your glad you have your food processor. Saved your hands and time too. 👍😎

😁 I knew I smelt that! I wish we had an awesome farmers market like that up here. We have small ones, nothing like that. I’m always amazed by it when you film there. I’m on the lookout for jalapeños I’m sure I’ll have to go to more than one place. Friends and family have already been asking for cowboy candy. There’s no way my plants will produce enough that’s for sure. They aren’t doing very well at all 😣.

Great video. just canned up 12 half-pint jars from jalapinos I found at a market in Dearborn for 99 cents a pound.

Love this! Can’t wait to make some of our own.

Made this last week and it’s delicious ❤thank you

Never had cowboy, but oh my!!!! Need to try. Love the kitchen aid chopper thingy. Guess I gotta get me one of those now. Lol

Had to look this up again after watching Rachel eat those tater tots with sour cream and cowboy candy ♥️ Also I just ate dinner, and I am now CRAVING that sloppy joe recipe

My husband and even my kids love it

Love cowboy candy! Absolutely my fav. Thanks!

I just made my first batch last night! Wish I had your video. Mine came out well but I used a can of pineapple blended up. Next time I'll follow your method. I think we are going to love this stuff❤

Racheal! thank you so much for this recipe. I am trying to decide on my cowboy candy recipe. looking at several channels. always LOVE your channel

Love Blocks when we visit I always go out and get their veggies hit it just right one day, when the corn came in we stuffed as much as you can in a bag. We make a pepper jelly down south goes great with a cream cheese. We love it hot down here. We have a lot in common not many like cornbread.
