I had not heard about adding to the timing on your water bath. I have been canning for about 50 yrs. even at 8,500 altitudes. I never had a problem with my canning. I think making a quesadilla with these as a dessert would be good. Thank you
I made this!!! Ok...not exactly. I subbed out jalapeños for blackberries and fresh basil from my garden. It tastes amazing!!! All of the complex flavors were out of this world. I use the mixture over meats. I also add the mix to sparkling water as a delicious, refreshing drink. I have to make more! Sublime!
Hello from Hamilton, Canada. Your video was amazing. Love your clear, neat approcah to cooking . I learned about cowboy candy from your video the very first time and bo was it a super success. Thanks for sharing your idead. Envy your beautiful garden. Since my stroke my hubby took over gardening , but now as a retired couple he is helping me make my cowboy candy and enjoying it too. I am glad I am still making it. ehat an amazing recipe. I use carolina reaper and ghost peper flakes instead of the cayenne flakes (i make the habenero, ghost pepper flakes at home after drying them and it sure adds a smokey flavor to it. Chillies rule. Love them. thank you gardener scott and thks for sharing
Love, love, love cowboy candy! I've made it with different peppers, sometimes a mix of spicy & sweet varieties with different colors. My favorite pepper for cowboy candy is Serrano. Oh, and that leftover syrup is solid gold. I actually water bath can it in 1/2 pint jars so I have it year round. It's an amazing marinade for beef, chicken, pork & even seafood. Cowboy candy grilled prawn skewers are insanely delicious!
lol I used a mix of peppers also. Serrano, jalapeno, cow horn, and hungarian wax. very tasty mix. I also finely chop the peppers and make cowboy relish.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I don't grow peppers that I can purchase in the store and prefer to grow the more exotic peppers given my limited garden area (even though I live on a large piece of property). I might try this with my Hawaiian peppers as they are both sweet and have a similar heat to Jalapeno. I do everything possible to keep my pepper plants alive year after year. The longest I've ever kept them alive was five years for a pubescens variety 'Manzano' and 'Pepper for Hell'. My other main peppers are Chilhuacle Negro (nice depth of flavor for chili without heat) and Chilhuacle Amarillo (different flavor profile with a bit more heat), Indian PC-1 for dried peppers and flakes, plus several others that are used by my son for their flavor and/or heat. Thanks for the recipe. By the way, the pubescens variety of pepper usually takes 2 or 3 years before you get any useful production. They can put out 15 foot long vines and some treat them like trees.
Cowboy candy is the main reason I grow jalapenos, plus for salsas. Unfortunately, the cool wet spring has put mine behind the 8 ball, some are still stunted. I broke down and bought some huge jalapenos just delivered to the grocer to make the cowboy candy.😋 I also use the juice for delicious salad dressing or to drizzle over taco salad. I eat my cowboy candy on hotdogs, hamburgers, and to top taco salads, too.
I have so many peppers, I don't know what to do with them, except freezing. I will try this recipe. Would it be possible to replace the sugar with honey, or any other natural sweetener?
not sure if you can. maybe pouring the sugar syrup out thin on a tray to harden to make a hard candy might be nice, but not sure if the vinegar in it would cause a issue.
I want Gardner Scott to adopt me.
Back of the line pal! 😂
🙋♀️
Me too!
I LOVE cowboy candy! I use 50% red and 50% green jalapenos and give away for Christmas!😊

We made this last year for the first time. it's fantastic stuff, and hope your other viewers try it!
You know what? I think I will.

I wasn't a big jalapeno fan, but this recipe could change my mind!
Love the C'Boy hat...

That is a great way to use the peppers from your garden. Cheers, Scott! ✌️
I need to plant more jalapeños next growing season!!
Oh fab!
I’ve heard the term cowboy candy but didn’t actually know what it was. Thank you

Great idea! I'm definitely doing the skewers this week.

Love kitchen videos from gardeners. Excited to try these this year. First time growing jalapenos but already planning to add more next year.
Another great video, really enjoy your recipe/preserving videos keep them coming.
The addition of celery seed is possibly for the aid in preservation.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I love that you can make it to store in fridge, that you don't have to can it at all.

And Cowboy Candy! 🌶
So many great tips in this one esp with 2 recipes. cowboy candy is popular here Scott
Followed your directions, turned out great, thanks!
Our jalapeños are SUPER hot though, perfect 😅
Perfect! My jalapenos went off this year in zone 6b/7a. Thanks GS!!
Great video! I have heard of cowboy candy but never thought to make it. i will have to try it.
I loved this video. Thank you
I can the leftover “brine”, it’s great on chicken as a marinade.
You can also can or freeze the excess syrup to use for marinating meats or chicken.
Can’t wait to try
Looks great. If you get some jars that don't seal, you could try them freeze dried. 👍🏻 (And then you can send me some.) 😆
I am planning to freeze dry the ones I put in the container.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot
Nice All-Clad pan. That’s where I work. American made in Canonsburg,PA.
I love them!

You can, but then you lose the preservation benefit, so refrigerate them.
Thank you! I developed an allergy to refined sugar. @@GardenerScott
7000 foot elevation? Approximately where in the country?
Colorado.
@@GardenerScott I guess you really are looking down on the rest of us. I'm at 100' elevation in California.
Leftover CBC syrup makes the best cucumber pickles. 🥒
not sure if you can. maybe pouring the sugar syrup out thin on a tray to harden to make a hard candy might be nice, but not sure if the vinegar in it would cause a issue.
How long does the syrup last at room temperature?
It should be good for a few months, but I refrigerate for extra food safety.
If you wear contacts and use your fingers to take them out, wear gloves. You will thank me 😂
👌🏻❤
I went ahead and water bathed my extra to use later
