Made the yearly candied jalapeños! Well, half of them as the place I get the jalapeños from only barely had 4lbs, let alone 8lbs.

It's a sugar and vinegar solution! By weight, the jalapeños, sugar, and vinegar are very close.

Unlike candied items that are rolled in sugar to make them crunchy, the candied jalapeños lose a lot of their crunch during the cooking process. They are not mush though!

They're a bit sweet, a bit hot! They become more mellow the longer they are in the jar.
