1 1/4 cup fresh jalapeno peppers, sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
green food coloring, optional
Combine jalapeno slices, sugar and water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes until jalapenos are cooked and liquid has boiled down to a thick syrup.
Remove from heat and add 1 drop green food coloring, if desired, to tint syrup. Place in a clean jar and refrigerate.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.

Does anyone know if this would work with splenda? I love hot peppers but want less carbs.

good recipe. takes longer than 20 minutes to boil down to a syrup though but maybe I turned the heat down to far. I didn't add the food coloring but I think I will next time because the jalapenos lose some of their bright color when cooked.

I was very pleased with this recipe. It took longer than posted but it turned out. I think the reason someone thought it was too thin was because she did not wait for it to cool. It turned out great for me though I think I will add a little more water than called for so it won't be as thick. I will make this often as we love it with cream cheese and crackers! Thanks!!

I tried this tonight and something is wrong.I think maybe too much water?? The mixture never did boil down to the candy stage, boiled 25 minutes, gave up and turned off. More like runny pancake type syrup, far from candied jalepenos.
