Description
A delightful blend of sweet pineapple and spicy jalapeños, perfect as a condiment or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups diced fresh pineapple
- 1 cup thinly sliced jalapeño peppers
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Syrup: In a medium saucepan, mix the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat the mixture over medium-high until it boils, stirring continuously to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Simmer the Syrup: Once boiling, lower the heat and let the syrup simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Add the Fruits: Carefully stir in the diced pineapple and sliced jalapeños. Ensure they are well-coated in the syrup.
- Cook the Mixture: Continue to simmer this mixture on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the jalapeños soften and the pineapple absorbs the syrup’s flavor.
- Cool Down: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature.
- Store It: Transfer the Pineapple Cowboy Candy into clean, sterilized jars or airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
Notes
Use fresh, ripe pineapple for best taste. Adjust heat by removing jalapeño seeds.
