Candied Jalapenos - This makes a very tasty and spicy addition to almost any meal.
4 lbs. jalapeno peppers - actually any
pepper will do, none of the heat is lost.
2 lbs. onions
¼ cup vinegar
¼ cup water or more if needed
6 to 8 cups sugar, 8 cups if you like sweet.
2 TBS mustard seed
2 tsp. turmeric
2 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. garlic powder (do not use garlic
salt) or 4 cloves of fresh garlic crushed.
Wash and cut Jalapenos and onions into thin
slices place in large covered saucepot,
with water and vinegar bring to a boil,
reduce heat and simmer until tender. About
10 minutes (Caution: Use rubber gloves when
cutting the peppers and do not touch your
face personal experience!). Pour off most
(90%) of the vinegar water add remaining
ingredients. Bring to a soft candy
temperature on a candy thermometer. Pack in
jars leaving ¼ inch headspace, adjust lids.
Yields about 7 pints.. Keep the liquid
poured off the Jalapenos to make jalapeno
jelly.Eat and enjoy

And for some strange reason, the title of this one (doesn't show up inside the post though!) is called "Cowboy's Candy":
