Cajun Candy

Kaw-Cajun Candy ~ Peach/Jalapeno Chutney	Printable Version (Adobe Reader is needed)
1 ½ lb green jalapeno’s, sliced 1 ½ lb ripe red jalapeno’s, sliced 2 sweet yellow onions, sliced 1/2 cup vinegar 1/2 cup water 4 cups sugar 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp celery seed 1 Tbsp mustard seed 4-5 cloves fresh garlic, sliced thin Pinch of salt
Directions: Slice Jalapenos into 1/4" slices and slice the onions. I suggest wearing rubber gloves while handling the jalapenos and DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE! Place jalapenos & onions in pan with water and vinegar and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer/steam until tender (about 10 minutes.) Do not breath fumes. Pour off the mixture into a strainer, reserving ½ cup of the water and vinegar. Return the ½ cup water/vinegar liquid to the pan, and add the sugar and spices, cook for a few minutes to completely disolve the sugar...then return the peppers & onions and the sliced garlic to the pan with the sugar/spice syrup. Mix well, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Place boiling mixture into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Put on caps and place rings on snugly. Process in boiling water bath for about 5 minutes. Cool & refridgerate after opening a jar. ~~~~~ Now, once you've made the candied jalapenos....and have a jar of them in the fridge - for a special treat, try mixing some of them 50/50 with Smucker's Peach Preserves for a FANTASTIC peach/jalapeno chutney! Great with smoked pork loin, grilled chicken, etc.
