Cowgirl Candy | Pickled Candied Jalapeño

#AcreHomestead #CowboyCandy #WaterBathCanning #BallCanning

I LOVE Cowboy Candy!! I use it on anything and everything. Cowboy candy can be used as a condiment or an appetizer. You can top your pizza, burgers, Brito bows, etc. To make an appetizer with cowboy candy, I open a jar and pour it over a brick of cream cheese and serve it with your favorite crackers!

Becky, i had thought my canning and preserving days were behind me. My family is all gone, i live in a 1BR apt and don't have a garden or a big farm kitchen anymore. All of that and anxiety and maybe a bit of lonliness over the last few years have been tough. My love for cooking and being in an organized, prepared kitchen has come back since watching your videos. I am excited about something. My kitchen is my happy place. I've canned and dehydrated everything i can get my hands on and am sharing those things, too. I live 2 blocks from a beautiful farmers market and am in love with these projects. Thank you for reminding me of being a young wife, gardener, and canner. I'm doing as much of that as i can again. This is on the agenda for next weekend!

I think I’ve gone back and watched almost every single one of your videos.
I’m ✨obsessed ✨

LOVE this... I modified it a bit & cut sugar in half, added 2 finely chopped Habaneros, 1 small, finely chopped red onion & about 8 finely chopped garlic cloves. **BOMB!!!

I canned 195 pints of Cowboy Candy this year, I also canned all left over syrup.... we planted 140 pepper plants, 220 tomato plants of different varieties.. plus all other garden veggies... we do not sell but can, freeze, dehydrate our produce and give away to family, friends and neighbors...

My brother and his wife were getting about 20 eggs per day so we were eating a lot of deviled eggs. The Candy started as a topper, one ring per egg. Then it got minced into the mixture to finally minced, a little juice and a ring topper. It did make for some fantastic deviled eggs.

I wonder if you know how calming and soothing your videos are? If you know that your sweet personality and warm nature are among many reasons people watch. I have a similar size property and plan to (somewhat) homestead in the coming years which is how I found your channel - researching for my hopeful future but I also suffer debilitating anxiety. My husband works nights which only increases my anxiety levels and nothing calms me like your videos so I’d just like to say thank you for sharing your life and passion and for offering a safe place for people like me to feel not so alone. Much love xx

I just finished my second canner of the morning with cowboy candy. I had about 7 pounds of jalapeños from the garden. This is the first year I’ve done it and we really like it! I do add turmeric, celery seed, salt and garlic. I also canned my leftover syrup for a meat marinade/glaze. This is my second batch this year. I made cheddar jalapeño bread with some from my first batch and it was really good!

I want to be like you when I grow up! Since I am 50, I might get to that point yet. 🤣 Your peppers are hot this year, because of the lack of rain. The capsaicin is what causes the heat, and if you dont get a ton of rain, it becomes more condensed and intense, equaling hotter peppers. More water will dilute the capsaicin. Of course some varieties are just hotter than others. You inspire me!!!

This is easily one of my favorite channels to learn gardening tips before we move onto our new land and start planting!

Sometimes I wonder what's so exciting, but I think that's just your energy! Gives me a boost regardless of what I'm doing. 😊

You are so in your happy place canning and your face glows! I buy different varieties of beans by the cases because I love canning huge amounts of beans for the pantry. One because we eat lots of bean soups, chilies, rice and beans everything beans and it is my addiction canning them. Thanks for sharing your joy!!

You are by far the best homesteading YouTube channel out there. I'm so happy we are from the same area-ish (I'm in Newberg, Oregon...45 mins from PDX) because we need more PNW representation on YouTube! Also you're just awesome! Keep up the good work.

When I saw the notification for this recipe, I literally said super LOUD in my apartment! 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for this recipe! It's something I want to try out and, for some reason, I always had the impression it was pretty complicated. However, you make it look so so easy and simple to make. To the point of removing any intimidating part away. That's an awesome gift/skill you've got there! 👍😉 I hope I'll be able to make this recipe soon! I love cream cheese, so I might try Cowboy Candy with it, too! 😉

Edit: Just letting you know that you forgot to write, the word "jalapeños" in the ingredient list (you only wrote " 3 pounds, thinly spiced") and, in the recipe's directions, at which step to add the salt. I know it has to be added when it's boiling because if it's added before that, it erodes the bottom of the stock pot (or whatever pot we use). So, in my own notes, I added it at step #2, before adding the peppers.

My goodness, this recipe looks so easy to make!!!, 😄😄😄🎉🎉🎉😄😄😄

I canned 20 x 1/2 pints a few weeks ago and I’ve already gone through 5 of them. 😂
I love mixing it into cornbread, and I used half a pint in my homemade barbeque sauce!

[jeccalou]

I bake my own no-knead bread and I dice up cowboy candy and add it to the dough before allowing it to rise. Very delicious, especially when sliced and topped with brie cheese.

[mayracollins]

I added garlic so good and spicy, I save & canned the brine too . I'll be making serranos cowboy candy tomorrow. Your hotdauce but green & you sriracha sauce too got lots of chillies from my back yard thank you so much.

You are in a roll with this consistency. Keep up with this good content 🙌🏾. My fav channel right now

[divinetransitions_]

My child watched this video with me and at the end they said, “I want to go to her house.”😂 You’ve got all the good snacks! I love your channel! Hubby and I will definitely be trying this.

[lfsarjh]

I love this recipe. I did a blend of about 65% Jalapenos and 35% Bell Peppers to tone down the heat to suit my family. It was so good. Thanks.

[cecesalas]

Im going to have to try this someday. Great video, Becky. BTW, overwatering peppers can make them less spicy. If you want spicier jalapenos, give them full sun, yank off some leaves, and deny them water every so often.
