Made some cowboy candy, but subbed 1/3 of the jalapeños for ghost peppers. Plan to serve it over smoked cream cheese, so should mellow it a bit.

I did this once with just jalapeños and was really disappointed. I thought it was nasty. Now i just quick pickle them.

Looks great! I make mine with sliced habaneros or a few scorpion or reaper peppers for concentrated spice. I also found out adding a spoonful of crushed red pepper or a splash of chili extract during the simmering stage will intensify the burn without changing the sweet-savory balance. That’s how I like it anyway.

This may sound like a stupid question. I’ve grown peppers for like 20+ years. I’ve pickled, made hot sauce, dehydrated and made powdered spices, and have had them raw. I’ve never tried “cowboy candy”.
Does the addition of the sugar and cooking them down a little bit make them like a sweet/spicy treat? I have to assume that adding the sugar cuts the heat significantly? I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I’m just curious about what the end results are of this. I’ve seen several posts now about “cowboy candy“.

What else can you do with this? I’m growing lots of peppers and need more recommendations.
