Description
Cranberry Jalapeño Cowboy Candy is a sweet and spicy candied snack that’s ready in just 30 minutes. The combination of tart cranberries and fiery jalapeños creates a delightful flavor explosion in every bite.
Ingredients
– 1 pound fresh jalapeños, sliced into rounds
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Add the sliced jalapeños to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are softened and the liquid has thickened.
3. Remove the jalapeño mixture from the heat and stir in the dried cranberries.
4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the candied jalapeño-cranberry mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer.
5. Allow the Cranberry Jalapeño Cowboy Candy to cool completely, then break apart any clumps and serve.
Notes
Store the Cranberry Jalapeño Cowboy Candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. The spice level can be adjusted by using more or fewer jalapeños.
