You will love them. The candied pecans too. -
There going to be sweet hot, depending on how hot your japs were to start. You can use a product by Ball called “pickle crisp granules” it’s calcium chloride . A 1/8 tsp per pint will make them nice and crunchy,I have used it for several yrs on all kinds of veg’s… It will made them crunch! Used to you had to soak your cumbers over night to make them crisp but this stuff eliminates that.

Pour over some cream cheese, a big bowl in tortilla chips and I hammer through it without thinking.

lkrfletcher my batch from last year never mellowed. They are great tasting, but my Jalapenos were the hottest I’ve ever grown. This year they are a nice medium heat. I gifted a lot of last years to some friends who liked crazy hot.

lkrfletcher I am going to try to make them this fall. Farmers markets are just about ready for shopping.

deanlorensen - I just opened a bottle and they are still crunchy and sweet. Not sure what the issue is.Bob probably hit it on the head. Cook time has to right
lkrfletcher I agree, cook time is probably the issue.

bocephus - Same for me - Will probably give many away for Christmas baskets

bocephus agreed, its that or temps are too high during the cook. It also helps to make sure you are using fresh and firm jalapenos. I made a batch that half of the peppers sat a few days before I got to them and the other half were just off of the vine. There was a big difference in the firmness of the final product.

The cowboy candy juice is great in wilted/sautéed greens.

I like them with cream cheese rolled up in a tortilla.
