My version of "cowboy candy"... I use honey and add onions. I make these to can every year at the end of the big pepper season. These are great on burgers, hot dogs, or any other sammich or situation you'd use pickles or relish.

Ingredients
- 2lbs fresh jalapenos, sliced in about 1/4" slices(de seeded, if desired, I don't)* shopping list
- 1lb sweet onion(vidalia, if possible), cut into thin wedges shopping list
- 2 heaping T of a mixture of whole peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and celery seeds. shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1T(less, of course, if desired) red pepper flakes shopping list
- 2 cups honey shopping list
- 2 cups cider vinegar shopping list
- *Again, remember, wear gloves when handling this many peppers and be VERY careful when adding them to the hot liquid. Do not let that stuff get in your face, you'll not be able to catch your breath for a few minutes. Think "pepper spray"!! shopping list
How to make it
- In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, honey, seeds, garlic and pepper flakes to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the peppers and onions and simmer for 5 more minutes. Any shorter, they won't be properly pasteurized, any longer, they will start to lose their heat rapidly. See Photo
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers and onions, loading into clean jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar.
- Boil remaining syrup at a hard boil for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully add hot syrup to the jars to cover peppers and onions.
- Clean off jars and seal with lids.
- These can now be refrigerated for several weeks(months? ;) or canned using proper canning techniques.
- They can be eaten as soon as they are made, but letting them be for at least a week is best.
