THE Recipe For Cowboy Candy

Mouthwatering and truly yummy!

Cowboy Candy Platter I love finding new recipes and this one caught my attention because of the name and then I saw it had jalapenos...totally roped me in! You will want to eat em' straight out of the jar because the recipe for this Cowboy Candy is that good! Well hold on, especially once you've tried em', to consider this; a cracker, smear of cream cheese, the candy on top! My mouth is waterin' just thinkin' of it! Here is what you need to do to make these taste treats...

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups sliced fresh jalapenos
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 drop green food coloring (optional)

Directions

Slice jalapenos, and place in a small sauce pan. Add water and sugar. Cook over medium heat until boiling. Reduce temperature to low, and simmer until the liquid has reduced, and the sugar water has become syrup-like (about 15- 20 minutes depending on temperature of heat source). Let cool and place in clean jelly jar. Store in refrigerator.

Options:
Add smoked salmon or turkey for a 'special' presentation, if you are doing the cracker/ cream cheese idea.

Remove a portion of the seeds from the jalapeno to decrease the overall hotness in the recipe.

Give small jars as gifts or treats for that special someone.

Do you mean the cowboy or the recipe? The cowboy is definitely candy (eye-candy)!

Would a candy by any other name remain as hot?

It is a strange recipe. I don't think it should be called candy.
