Update:
In this video I stated you could use the leftover brine for another batch (I always have leftover brine with this recipe). I did NOT know this at the time but it is not considered safe to do so. I stand corrected. Leftover brine may be jarred and canned as I stated or stored in the fridge for marinades, dressings and refrigerator pickles but cannot be reused for canning a new batch of pickles. My apologies for the confusion.
3 cups vinegar (ACV or white)
2 tsp salt
4 cups sugar
6 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tsp. turmeric
½ tsp cayenne powder
2 tsp. mustard seeds
4 pounds jalapenos, sliced into ¼ inch rings
Ladle hot pepper rings into hot pint or smaller jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Ladle hot brine over peppers maintaining 1/2" headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.
Process for 15 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes
Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark dry place.
This tutorial is for informational purposes only. It is your responsibility to follow all instructions for your canner and water bath/steam canning. Always adhere to safe canning guidelines.

In 2022 I made my very first batch of cowboy candy. I was not really big on jalapenos so I gave away all but 1 jar in gift baskets for Christmas. Everyone loved it and asked if I had more. I opened the one jar I had left in May for some sheet pan nachos I was making for friends. I tried the cowboy candy and could not get enough of it! It was so good! When my garden started coming in I had a couple of jalapeno plants and was going to make more but could not find the recipe. I do believe this video is the recipe I followed. I have 12 plants that are absolutely loaded with jalapenos so I am going to use this recipe and make as much as I can, thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Finally!!! A recipe with salt and love that she specifies "pickling salt"! So many had no salt so I blew by those ones. Do not trust recipes without a dash of salt at least.
Several have asked how these are eaten. My family’s favorite way is to spoon them onto a block of cream cheese and eat with a good cracker. My family always requests this for our Christmas appetizer gathering.
You're singing my song! ❤️
The Jars are gorgeous and the product inside is equally as pretty! 💞
These sound really good! So glad your back, we missed ya!
So good to see you again!
Missed your videos! Welcome back!
Such an excellent tutorial, thank you!
Perfect timing! I was just thinking about making these!
You could put boiled eggs in the left over juice and have hot pickled eggs
What a great idea!
That sounds delicious
Now I want pickled eggs
You are such a good teacher and very inspiring!
I always love your videos. Thank you for this one
Glad you are back. I missed you.
Made this today. Kitchen smells amazing.
Super excited to try this recipe! Picked up peppers today!
I just made these! They are delicious! Thank you for your instructions/demo!!!
Had these at a friend's house and when I asked for the recipe she sent me your link. Just made them... wow!!! Thanks for sharing
YEAH!!! So glad you are back! Missed You!
😘
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR RECIPE AND IT'S THE BEST RECIPE EVER!!!!!👍
After watching a couple of your videos I purchased a steam canner and have had great success steam canning . I find it more convenient and easier to use . Thankyou for all your tutorials and recipes . Now I’m off to make this one !
This is the best vid. Thank you.
I will try this for my daughter-in-law's father. He loves hot peppers! Thanks, Carol.
Thankyou soooo much! I learn so much from your videos.
Pretty cool Recipe. Thanks for sharing. Definitely trying it. Best regards from Germany 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙋🏾♀Hi Carol! Awesome recipe for Cowboy Candy! I just canned 30 pints!! I wore gloves because I’m sensitive to spicy peppers 🌶
Nice to see you back Carol !
Thank you 💕
I used your recipe and it was a huge hit at hunting camp. I did add a pinch of Nigerian pepper seasoning, just for a little extra heat. Thank you from all of the guys down at the hunting camp. My husband said I have to make extra this year
I just made this recipe I used 4.5 pounds of jalapeños and serrano peppers I got 5 pints and a half pints. Thank you for the recipe.
Love your vids...thank you
I have so much trouble finding red hot peppers or waiting for the Jalapeño to turn red, so I make long slices of red bell pepper for the color. It does look so nice, and you're right, everyone loves this and asks for a jar.
Can't wait until the jalapeños are ready to taste! I am thinking of using my abundance of shishito and Joe Parker peppers with some cayennes thrown in to use up the extra brine.
These look beautiful! You should consider adding New Mexico Hatch green chile and throughout the year may be found in supermarkets as an "Anaheim" chile (similar to the light green chile pepper that you added in the video). Hatch green chile can be mild, medium, and hot, so you may add it according to your personal taste.
Carol, I just have to tell you that I love to curl up on the couch and watch recipes on UA-cam and Pinterest. BUT I actually make almost all of the recipes you post! Right now I’m processing the candied jalapeños with a combination of peppers😊. There is a pint of tasty brine left and I’m deciding what to do with it.
Thanks so much for the research and time you put in to produce such awesome videos!
BTW, the steam canner you have, I bought it and it’s WONDERFUL! So much faster than water bath canning!
Hi, I couldn't have said that better but I'm more new to canning. Also I have always used dried hot pepper flakes in place of cayenne, any thought on that? Have either one of you used pickle brine to "brine your chicken" for frying? I have tried this once for thin little chicken cutlets using breast. Five or six diagonal slices per breast / and then about 6 to 8 hours brine / flour - egg - panko / pan fry with olive oil just to a nice golden color / 180* on cookie sheet in the oven for 1 hour. Now I loved this as a novel idea, but my guy did not "love it". So most are using whole chicken pieces and just any pickle brine. Other than that I LOVE using the leftovers of this kind of brine in deviled eggs! Thanks again Carol!
This went like wildfire with my family! Will be making more 😀
I can't wait for my peppers to be ready in my garden, so I can make more cowboy candy. I have my pressure canner running right now, canning navy beans and ham. Taking a little breather before summer garden is ready, because then, I have 0 time for anything but canning lol. Thanks for all of your recipes. I've used a few. You are my favorite channel ❤
Thank you 😊
I made those yesterday!
Always love your videos. And the substitutions you suggest to make it that much better.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I enjoy them so much. I’d like to use my frozen jalapeños in this recipe. Do you think that would work well?
Frozen jalapeños will not work well as they will be too soft
I can my leftover syrup for bbq sauce or put in my spicy baked beans.
I’m going to try this. Unfortunately I have a super wimpy mouth so I’m gonna use the little sweet peppers, mild hatch green chiles, banana peppers and some jalapeños.
Someone suggested using the left over brine or juice, to marinate thin slices of beef for beef jerky made in dehydrator. I thought that sounded good
I didn't know what Cowboy candy was but we called it plain ole canned hot pepper. It sure was good. Yes we used sugar and stuff in ours.
I have to make this again, like the colored peppers, I about killed myself with the batch I made last year, never knew this but when it is dry and hot the peppers get hotter, could not eat them.
You've been missed, sure glad to have you back!!!!
My SIL loves jalapeños, but not sweet ones...do you have a video on just canned jalapeños??
Thank you... I do not have a video on just canned jalapeños. Sorry
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thanks for replying; have a great weekend!!!!
Can you use Bragg ACV?
You can do quart jars just ten minutes more then the pints
Hello! Thank you for doing this video!
I have been wanting to make this recipe and appreciate your thorough detailed instructions so much!
Would you mind saying the size of your saute pan if known? I'm just wondering if this recipe will fit into a 3 quart sauce pan...
Thank you so much!
Katy in NH
I believe it’s more than three... 6 quarts I believe
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you so much!!!!
My question would be, adding more peppers to reserved brine, will it increase the heat of the Candy in the next batch?
Carol, I have the same steam canner. Did your canner come with an additional flat bottom rack along with the drop down handled rack. I just received the drop down rack with mine.
No, you flip the rack over and tuck the handles under so your jars sit on the bottom of the wire rack 😊
I made jalepeno-Serrano cowboy candy last week. It’s already spicy. I’d live your input on hatch chilies. I bought some yesterday b
Not Carol's input here but.....We love Hatch chilies and they come in varying degrees of heat. The grocery where we bought ours had them labeled hot & mild. They actually were set up and roasting them outside, it smelled delicious from several blocks away.
I just made this, but miss read the measure for the cayenne powder and mustard seed. Yes, I put in 2 teaspoons of cayenne powder. No one will be complaining cause it’s not hot enough.
What brand size style pan are you using for the jalapeños? I’ve been looking for a good one like that for gas stove. Thanks for this video ….btw
It’s part of a set I bought years ago. It’s by All Clad
I’m new to canning. I was wondering could I use a combination of jalapeños with green and red peppers. Thank You so much for the video!
OK, after watching this video again and reading the replies, I guess it’s OK To combine bell peppers with the jalapeños!!..
Hi Carol! Another question. : ) I'm about to make this recipe - so, if I have leftover brine, I can can it and add it to a fresh batch next season and can that, or would I just add peppers to it, cook it, and then just place that jar in the fridge? I can't seem to find much info regarding recanning items that have already been canned. Again, thanks SO much. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your commitment to safe canning practices. Love that I can trust your info!
After I posted this video it was pointed out to me that you cannot reuse brine if you’ve simmered vegetables in it. So either make refrigerator pickles or save it for marinades or salad dressing. I’m sorry… I did leave updated information in the description box
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Oh gosh, I totally missed that - sorry! Thankfully it turned out just right this time so yay!! Thanks again. 😘
Your link to the recipe isn't working. It says page not found
Hello! I want to try this recipe. Did I miss the water bath canning time? I heard you say 15 minutes- but was that just for your steam canner?
Water bath and steam canning are the same processing time
Question: Do you think I could add onions to this? Thank you for your answer.
I wouldn’t bc acid ratio is important for safety
I grew what I thought were banana peppers this year, they turned out to be cowhorn peppers (essentially long skinny bell peppers). Do you think I can add these along with jalapeno to tame the heat?
Yes absolutely
Hello! Just curious if brown sugar is safe for canning? I think this would be absolutely delicious if you mixed 2 cups white sugar and 2 cups brown sugar
Yes
I just made these with almost 5 pounds of peppers and still had a lot of brine/syrup left over.. saved for another batch
Carol, What steam canner do you use?
It’s linked in the description box below my video 😊
Hi Carol, where you purchased your steam canner n how many quarts is it?
3 quarts of water
amzn.to/3QOP4Xb
I was bath water canning, wanted to upgraded n thought about pressure canning, n saw ur video n liked the the idea of steam canning. Thanks 🙏🏼
Carol, can I be a substitute minced garlic for the sliced garlic?
Yes
I saw your post about not using the leftover brine for another batch. Do you know why they say you shouldn’t do this? I wonder if you brought it to a boil with your new batch if it would be fine.
They say it becomes less acidic which would make the second batch unsafe
Do you have a safe method for canning green bell peppers without vinegar??
nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_04/peppers.html
Do you have a regular pickled jalapeno recipe that you like to use?
No I’m sorry I don’t
Carol, I steam canned this recipe with the same steam canner that you have. My steam vent temperature never went over 200 degrees after a 10 minute full boil and stayed that temp through the entire process. I am at close to 6800 ft above sea level so I processed for 15-20 minutes longer. Should the jar contents be boiling upon removal from canner? My contents were not boiling. All jars did ping and seal.
Hmmm… I can’t imagine why unless your gauge isn’t working properly. If the water in the bottom was boiling it had to be at the correct temperature. And I’ve not paid that much attention to the jars when I removed them so idk if they would appear to be boiling I’m sorry
Was your lid on tight? If it was ajar that could have been the problem
It is common that contents are still boiling hot when removed from the canner. This is why they need to be allowed to cool slowly.
Is “steam canning” the same thing as pressure canning?
No… it is used in place of water bath canning
Carol
How long will these stay crisp? It's Sept 16th 2022. Thinking of doing these for Xmas gifts. I've made dill pickles and had to throw them out after few months they turned VERY mushy.
Mine are crisp for about a year
Thank you Carol, very quick response. I appreciate you.
How long should these be stored prior to opening and eating? 4 weeks?
The longer the better but at least 4 weeks
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 that’s going to be tough. LOLZ
Thank you! Keep up the good work! You’re really providing a fantastic service for us noobs and I appreciate your help.
Have you ever added honey in place of some of the sugar? I’m thinking of the taste>
No I haven’t
I’ve always wondered what people do with the cowboy candy. Do you just eat it plain or do you use it as a condiment with other foods?
Use them as a condiment on burgers or hotdogs, on nachos or other Mexican food, on sloppy joes, on a charcuterie board or sandwiches or straight from the jar
Help I can’t seem to find the link to the recipe.
There’s a description box below the video. Click on the arrow to the right of the title below the video
When you say “steam canner” do you mean a pressure cook canner?
No. It’s a different canner and it replaces water bath canning. I have a link in the description box 😊
I'm SO curious, where are you able find canning lids? So frustrating!
My local Meijer
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I'm so happy you are able to get your hands on them. Can't find them anywhere around here. BTW - I just 'found' you last week and have been obsessing ever since. lol I'm BRAND new at this and just canned last weekend for the first time ever. My daughter gifted me the same water bath/steam canner you have, so thank you SO much for sharing all you do! Tomorrow I'll be following along with you as I use my pressure canner for the first time ever - green beans! Again, thank you so much, I adore watching and learning from you! Already making my list of Christmas goodies to make/can. : )
My husband loves jalapeños. How do you use the Cowboy Candy?
On sandwiches, nachos, tacos, in sloppy Joe’s, on pizza, in chili etc....
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you
My husband likes the brine over a house salad verses using dressing 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Those jars don't look like the typical Ball canning jar. Were they a different brand?
They are Ball Flute jars 😊
I thought so! I put your blueberry moscato sauce in them. Just beautiful!
If it is nessesury... How do you sterelize your Jars?🤔
I simmer mine in the waterbath canner while I’m making the recipe.
Triple yowza!
Can I use any hot peppers? Hot banana?
Yes
Carol... If you Are Not PRESSURE CANNING, in other words you ARE WATER BATH CANNING your product, you are SUPPOSE TO STERILIZE YOUR JARS/LIDS/BANDS. When you Pressure Can your stuff the Canner brings your jars & product up to 240 degrees and that steralizes and kills off any bacteria you may have. Water bath canning only brings water up to 212 degrees! Either way, wash your jars/ lids/bands/all equipment to rid of any bacteria, even if your stuff is NEW out of box because roaches/ bugs LOVE Cardboard!
Please, people, can your products / food safely! Your life CAN and WILL depend on it!
I’m sorry but you are incorrect. I am sharing the most up to date information. Here is the recommendation according to the NCHFP nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/sterilizing.html
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231
They must have just changed the rules like they did with the lids. They recommend that you do exactly what i said. So although i may be incorrect now. I wasn't before they changed the rules. If you had canned for as long as i have, you'd know this. Not saying anything other than what i stated use to be the guidelines and i thought they were still valid
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 👍🏼 Love it!
Girl, I hope you wore gloves while you sliced up those peppers 😳😜
