If you like the look of this one, it is well worth using the recipe and instructions from the Ball site like I did. Its incredibly delicious and a free resource. www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=candied-jalapenos
Yummm.. we love cowboy candy. I process our jalapenos in the food processor now to make a finer chop. We also strain the brine, add jalapenos to jar then add the brine back. I now also make cowboy candy bbq sauce with the leftover brine its amazing.
Oh wow!!! That bbq sauce sounds devine. Would love to hear more, as that recipe definitely delivers extras on the brine. I was thinking salad dressing, but your sauce idea sounds great.
@Bush Edge Homesteading Australia i grabbed mine off a canning page Cowboy Candy BBQ Sauce: 2 cups cowboy candy syrup 3 cups tomato puree (i just process cans of diced tomatoes with my hand blender) 6oz can tomato paste 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup molasses 1/4 cup honey 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon celery seeds 1 teaspoon tumeric 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons smoked paprika Simmer for 40min until thick Waterbath 20min. We are at under 1000 altitude so 20min waterbath works for me times may need to be adjusted if your at a higher altitude.
Great job with all the chopping Mr Bushedge. They look so pretty in the jars when finished. Would be a great Christmas present. Thanks for sharing Rachel. 🌶️
VERY grateful for the help in the kitchen on this one. Over the years he has been our official chilli prepper. (Pepper prepper 🤣) He has some superpowers when it comes to the effects of chillis!!!
Thanks for your lovely comment 💗 Dont let the lack of a canner stop you. You can make it by the jar and pop it in the fridge. OR.. to make it shelf stable with any pot and a teatowel, have you see my mint sauce vid? It has a great hack for waterbath with any big pot. ua-cam.com/video/g9GXTmfyn8g/v-deo.html
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus yeah I was just thinking of eating it straight away because we don’t have that many chillies either. Hopefully we will in the future though!
It is soooo good 😋 This is a must-have in our preserves cupboard from now on. Im preferring this to our normal pickled chillis. Although our fermented chillis is still up there too!
Looks good the only difference I do is salt the peppers 12 two 24 hours in the fridge. drain juice and wash them from the salt. they tend to Absorb the brine more. thanks for sharing.
How did your husband cut up all those jalapenos without burning his hands? I only wear rubber gloves now after badly burning my hands with peppers! Your recipe looks very good! I am going to try it, only wearing my gloves! You did a great job!
Oh I didn’t know that about the acidity!! That’s interesting! I just love all that colour 🙌🏼 I’ve never tried steam canning, I have a water bath system so that was good to see. You’re a brave woman, I’m not a chilli fan , but like you said with wine and cheese would be perfect ❤ xx
Hi , thank you for sharing your details, i have a question .not sure if this a dumb one to ask 😂 . Anyways if the jar is cleaned on top before the lids on shouldn’t the lids be dry as well ?
No silly questions here! 😀 The reason the jars are wiped is to remove any food that may have got on the rim when filling the jar. Food can affect the seal if it gets stuck between the lid seal and jar rim. Just water isn't an issue for the seal, which is why the lids aren't dried. I hope this helps 😀
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus thanks so much . How can i get in contact with you please ? I’m in Port Melbourne and i have so much of questions to ask about canning . My husband travels Up to Dandenong rangers area for work . Will it be possible to visit your beautiful farm . Many thanks .
The texture does become a lot softer when candied in this way. I don't expect with this recipe you could keep it crunchy, like in pickle recipes where you can use things like 'picklecrisp'.
Hi Rachel have been wanting to try cowboy candy for a while but hubby can only eat heat yo the level of a sweet chilli sauce and I think Im a bit like you with the level of heat I can handle. How do you think this recipe would go if you left out the cayenne pepper? Also were all your chillis jalepenos? Are the green as hot as the red? I will have to wait until next season now to try and grow some 😊 Thanks Rach for a great video ❤
Hi Kim, I cant see any reason not to try this with milder chilli varieties. This was jalapeños that I made it with. And I honestly dont think the cayenne makes a difference, so wouldn't be too fussed if it went in or not in the next batch.
If you save your brine, you can use it as a great marinade for pork products. If you eat pork, I think it would be good with chicken maybe too as a marinade
This is a great use 👌 I have used it for a few things since making our 1st batch. Our favourite so far, is for making beef jerky. Soaking overnight before smoking is incredible 😋 The brine is most definitely not to be wasted 😀
Sadly in Australia the standard being 4% is what the homebrands tend to be. Years ago they were labelled 4%, but they seem to have dropped this off in recent years. Im not sure if you have seen in, but I have a video on the channel on Australian vinegars and acidity. You can use homebrand with a conversion of volumes. And that video covers how to do so. Also, there is now a double strength homebrand at Woolies at 8%.

Thanks.. i have their newest version in print! Will check! I do prefer it chopped like relish, just easier to spread!!
@elizabethcox7739 I think we could even do whole chillis and hubby would eat them straight from the jar 😂

Love jalapenos going to have to try this. you made it look so simple.
It is INCREDIBLY good. It's definitely worth making 👌
Look good, a will try as a morning snack.
I haven't tried it like this yet, but have had it recommended to use on scrambled eggs for brekkie.
Well done Rachel. Looks very colorful. Cheers
Thanks a bunch Lance. It is a pretty one, both in the pot and jar 😀
Great job with all the chopping Mr Bushedge.
They look so pretty in the jars when finished. Would be a great Christmas present.
Thanks for sharing Rachel. 🌶️

He has some superpowers when it comes to the effects of chillis!!!
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus I love that. The official pepper prepped😁
A great tutorial, you explained everything so clearly. I can hardly wait to try this recipe! I don’t have a canner yet though. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your lovely comment 💗 Dont let the lack of a canner stop you. You can make it by the jar and pop it in the fridge.

YUMM!!! This looks so tasty and pretty easy to do 👌 thanks for sharing the process! I’m going to try this as soon as I have enough chillies
How great are these straightforward recipes that make something delish 😋 😀
I put chunks of pineapple in the bottom of the jar , its everyones favourite
That sounds delicious Kerry 😋 👌🍍
Thanks for sharing this tip 😀
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus your very welcome :)
I cannot wait to try this. 😍

I need to get a heap of chillies growing in my garden next spring, I want to try that
They are so worthwhile growing and incredibly productive. Especially if you can overwinter them, which I bet you would have great sucess with there 😀
How did your husband cut up all those jalapenos without burning his hands? I only wear rubber gloves now after badly burning my hands with peppers! Your recipe looks very good! I am going to try it, only wearing my gloves! You did a great job!
I am so with you!!!! I use gloves every time. He is a crazy man when it comes to both handling and eating chillis!!! 🤣😂🤣🔥🔥🔥

I did test on the hubby first though 🤣🤣🤣 The sweetness definitely tempers the heat.
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus 🤣🌶️🥵
If it is too hot you can always remove the seeds while chopping them and it will remove some of the spicy
Great tip to tone it back a bit 👌
Sell my clothes , I'm going to heaven !!!! That looks awesome Thank you for sharing !.
Great comment!!! 😁😁😄 And it is a pretty great recipe too.
Fill jars using a slotted spoon….then add the brine. 😊
That's a great tip to get more of the chillis in there.

How can you keep the crunch of the peppers in cowboy candy.
The texture does become a lot softer when candied in this way. I don't expect with this recipe you could keep it crunchy, like in pickle recipes where you can use things like 'picklecrisp'.

Hey, where did you get your bulk sugar bin from? Am needing somewhere to store bulk flour and sugar
The ones I use are just from Bunnings. They have a couple of options on food grade ones.
I googled What percentage acidic in home brand vinegar .it said it’s 5% is that correct ?
Sadly in Australia the standard being 4% is what the homebrands tend to be. Years ago they were labelled 4%, but they seem to have dropped this off in recent years. Im not sure if you have seen in, but I have a video on the channel on Australian vinegars and acidity. You can use homebrand with a conversion of volumes. And that video covers how to do so.
Also, there is now a double strength homebrand at Woolies at 8%.
Try dicing the chilies. It’s much better. Use veg diced.
I can see how dice would be lovely in some recipes, so thanks for sharing this idea.
Lol

Jackaroo candy
Now that's Aussie!
Love it!!! 💚💛
Love it… i do my own version on my channel @west coast grandma😃🌶️
It is soooooo good and well worth making Elizabeth. Looking forward to watching how you go 😀
