Cowboy Candy

Last fall I found SEVERAL loaded jalapeno plants that had been buried by my nasturtiums. I just couldn't throw them out, but what does one do with five pounds of peppers??

I saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen for Cowboy Candy. It's been down in the pantry for several months, frankly, I was a little afraid to open and eat it. I chopped up the whole pepper--seeds and all went into the mix. [didn't want to waste, but was way sick of canning]

I finally opened a bottle and made Jeff taste it first. It is SO. GOOD! I will be making MANY jars next year. I love the texture. It's just like jalapeno jelly in flavor, but with the pieces of pepper you get a crunch that is really appetizing.
