**Amish Candied Jalapeños: A Unique and Flavorful Treat**

These sweet and spicy treats are made with fresh jalapeño peppers that are candied in a simple syrup. The result is a delicious and addictive snack that is perfect for parties, picnics, or just enjoying as a snack.
This article provides two different recipes for Amish candied jalapeños, so you can choose the one that best suits your taste. The first recipe is for a traditional candied jalapeño, which is made with a simple syrup of sugar and water. The second recipe is for a spicy candied jalapeño, which adds a little extra heat with the addition of cayenne pepper.
Both recipes are easy to follow and require just a few ingredients. The most important thing is to use fresh jalapeño peppers that are firm and ripe. Once you have your peppers, you simply need to slice them and remove the seeds and ribs. Then, you can make the simple syrup and candy the peppers.
The candying process is simple, but it does take a little time. You need to let the peppers soak in the syrup for at least 24 hours, so be sure to plan ahead. Once the peppers are candied, you can enjoy them as is or you can use them in other recipes.

Steps:
- Wearing gloves, remove the stems from all of the jalapeno peppers. The easiest way to do this is to slice a small disc off of the stem-end along with the stem. Discard the stems.
- Slice the peppers into uniform 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Set aside.
- In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, white sugar, turmeric, celery seed, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to boiling again, add the pepper slices, return to a hard boil, then reduce the heat again and simmer for exactly 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers, loading into clean, sterile canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar. Turn heat up under the pot with the syrup and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 6 minutes.
- Use a ladle to pour the boiling syrup into the jars over the jalapeno slices. Insert a cooking chopstick to the bottom of the jar two or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust the level of the syrup if necessary. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp paper towel and fix on new, two-piece lids to finger-tip tightness.
- *If you have leftover syrup, and it is likely that you will, you may can it in half-pint or pint jars, too. It's wonderful brushed on meat on the grill or added to potato salad or, or, or... In short, don't toss it out!
- Place jars in a canner, cover with water by 2-inches. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. When it reaches a full rolling boil, set the timer for 10 minutes for half-pints or 15 minutes for pints. When timer goes off, use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a cooling rack. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. When fully cooled, wipe them with a clean, damp washcloth then label.
- Allow to mellow for at least two weeks, but preferably a month before eating. Or don't. I won't tell!

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Use firm, unblemished peppers with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with bruises or soft spots.
- Wear gloves when handling peppers: Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat, can irritate your skin. Wear gloves to protect your hands when slicing and handling peppers.
- Remove the seeds and ribs if you want milder peppers: The seeds and ribs contain the most capsaicin. Removing them will make the peppers less spicy.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the peppers: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even slices. This will help the peppers cook evenly.
- Cook the peppers in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sugar syrup: This will help you ensure that the syrup reaches the correct temperature for candying.
- Let the peppers cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming sticky.
Conclusion:
Amish candied jalapenos are a delicious and versatile treat. They can be enjoyed on their own, used as a topping for salads or sandwiches, or added to recipes for a spicy kick.
