A few years ago, a family friend gifted me a jar of candied jalapeños, and I was instantly hooked. I love a little spice, and I’m a big fan of sweet and salty, so this was the perfect mix.
To me, the joy of canning is amplified when you can share it with others, and this is the perfect recipe for that! I love something that is #proudlyhomemade.
Make this for your next family gathering, and take an extra jar to share or gift! It is sure to be a hit.
I am so honored to be a Ball®Canning Ambassador, and I am sharing yummy canning recipes with you regularly, so always be on the lookout here ;-)
Delicious jalapeños fresh and ready to use! I love a regular jalapeño but you can also add another variety of hot pepper if you’d like to kick up the heat!
Always be sure to measure the correct headspace with the measuring tool as indicated in the recipe. Then clean the rim and threads of the jar using a clean, damp cloth. Center the hot lid on, apply the band, and adjust to fingertip tight Place your jars in the canner and boil for 15 minutes.
CANDIED JALAPEñOs canning RECIPE
Candied Jalapeños with Ball®Fresh Preserving
Prep time: 20 minutes
Processing time: 15 minutes
Makes: About 4 (16 oz) pint jars
INGREDIENTS
3 cups vinegar (ACV or white)
2 tsp. salt
4 cups sugar
6 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tsp. turmeric
½ tsp. cayenne powder
2 tsp. mustard seeds
4 pounds jalapenos, sliced into ¼ inch rings ( about 20 cups )
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Fill your water bath canner with enough water to cover jars by 1-2 inches and bring to a simmer. Keep your jars in hot water (not boiling) until you are ready to add the food content. Wash lids and bands in warm soapy water and set aside.
step 2
Combine all ingredients except jalapenos in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
Add jalapenos slices, lower heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes, until jalapenos are dark green and have begun to absorb some of the brine.
step 3
Ladle hot jalapenos into a hot jar leaving a ½ inch headspace. Pour hot brine over jalapenos, maintaining a ½ inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles with the bubble remover or a rubber spatula by sliding the tool down the side of the jar, then pulling inwards.
Rotate and repeat around the jar as needed until all bubbles are removed. Repeat this two to three times.
STEP 4
Wipe the rim and threads using a damp cloth to remove any food residue. Place the lid on and screw the band on until it is fingertip-tight.
Using your jar lifter, place the jar upright into the water and onto the rack. Your jars should be covered with 1-2 inches of water; if not, add more water. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for each jar one at a time until all your filled jars have been placed into the canner.
step 5
Turn the heat up, and wait until you hear or see the water vigorously boiling (rolling boil). The processing time of a recipe only starts when the water has reached boiling point.
Start your timer and process the jars for 15 minutes, adjusting for altitude.
STEP 6
When the processing time is completed, turn off your burner. Remove the pot's lid away from you (be careful of the steam!), and wait 5 minutes before taking your jars out. This helps for a better vacuum seal.
STEP 7
Carefully remove the jars, one at a time, with the jar lifter. Keep them upright, and place your jars on a towel or wood cutting board. Never place them directly onto a cold surface or countertop to prevent cracking due to thermal shock.
Leave the jars untouched for 12-24 hours. Do not tamper with the lids or bands or wipe away water ;-)
After 12-24 hours, check if the lids have been sealed. Press the center - A properly sealed jar lid will not spring up when you press down in the center. Remove the band and use a finger to press down on the middle of the lid. If the lid springs up when you lift your finger, the jar must be reprocessed before you can store it safely.
