Key Components

• Peppers: I take advantage of contemporary jalapeño peppers, however you’ll be able to experiment with different peppers on this recipe. I additionally go away my peppers entire and don’t take away the seeds or membranes (the sugar syrup tones the warmth of the peppers fairly a bit). If you would like a light outcome, you’ll be able to take away the seeds and membrane, the place many of the warmth lives. Combine hotter peppers with the jalapenos for spicier cowboy sweet, or substitute all of them collectively.

After the sugar dissolves, add your sliced peppers and garlic. Switch the peppers to a jar, however hold the syrup within the saucepan to cut back it additional.

Don’t toss any further syrup—it’s liquid gold! I take advantage of it in marinades, dressings, cocktails, and even tossed with fruit for a candy and spicy kick.
