Sweet Pickled Jalapenos
My sweet pickled jalapeno peppers recipe has become quite popular online and with my friends. It is actually one of the most popular recipes on my blog and thank you to everyone who has shared it on Pinterest.
If you’re not wanting to make it yourself you can find several favorite varieties of Jalapeno Candy and Jalapeno relishes

Up until last year, I was not a big fan of jalapenos. It was the first time I planted jalapenos, mainly for salsa, but I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Sweet Pepper Candy Rings and was very intrigued.
Now, I am addicted to the sweet and tangy taste of the sweet Mexican flavor. I am actually just slightly addicted to the Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno poppers I learned how to make last summer.
I still don’t eat raw jalapenos, they are too hot and spicy for me, but when you add vinegar and sugar to the pickled jalapenos you are left with the flavor without the heat, that I can do!
Last year I became quite obsessed and my four small pepper plants were NOT enough and I started begging jalapenos from friends and neighbors. This year I have eleven plants so let’s see if this keeps me in stock for the season.
There you go, Cowboy Candy, serve on crackers with cream cheese as an appetizer or snack. My favorite way to eat my jalapeno candy or jelly is to pair it with savory deli meats, fruit, and cheeses on a wooden charcuterie board.
Wooden Charcuterie Board
You can really use anything as a charcuterie board, but most of the time they are wooden so you can slice your cheese and meat. I have regular Wine Wednesday and break out my homemade charcuterie board.
Do you have a favorite Cowboy Candy recipe, or another jalapeno dish?
If you don't want to go through the work of preparing the Jalapeno relish yourself you can buy it and say you did. No one will know will they, just pour it out onto a fancy plate with cream cheese.
