Not Que, but a spicy fall treat. Candied Jalapenos. I like to add in some carrots as well. Used about 2lbs of jalapenos and 5 big carrots. Made two quart jars, although I've already eaten about half of a jar.

I just had some in a white queso dip, although they were store bought. I will have to try some homemade ones. They look great!

Easy to make, lots of recipes on the Inter Webs. Just don't cook them too long in the pot. Remember they will keep cooking in the jars after you add the hot syrup. You don't want mush.

After you've eaten them all, heat the syrup back up in a pot and reduce it until it gets kind of thick. Use as a glaze over some grilled chicken for another spicy treat.

Interesting - what have you done with them other than snack on them?

On crackers is great

That's all I do with them. Snacks. Good by themselves, on crackers, tortilla chips or like Ron said, you can probably dip them in some queso.

If you like spicy, they are addicting. I think one of the quart jars may be empty by tonight or tomorrow.

That sounds delicious! I wonder if I can do something similar with the pickled jalapeños I’m about to finish...

I'd finish a jar in one day Andy. Love it!

You can if you add a bunch of sugar to the pickled jalapeño juice and cook it down until it becomes glaze consistency.
