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

"Candied"?
Can you please go into some more detail? Is there some sort of sugar or jelly base that's used to preserve them?
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.
Looks great. I like them on a triscuit with a bit of cream cheese.
It's a good combo, cracker + cream cheese + candied jalapeño! I also like them on roast beef sandwiches!
