Yummy Cowboy Song AND Singers...hey stop lookin', browse already ;)THE Recipe For Cowboy Candy
Mouthwatering and truly yummy!
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!
Consider this; a cracker, smear of cream cheese, the cowboy candy on top! Mmm! Mmm!
Here is what you need to do to make these cowboy candy taste treats...
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups sliced fresh jalapenos
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 drop green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
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 to that special someone.

Why not call it candy. They have candy in other countries with chili powder in them.
