On the canning docket today was Cowboy Candy, a yummy blend of hot peppers in a bread and butter pickling sauce. It's good on hotdogs, burgers, scrambled eggs or poured over cream cheese as a cracker dip. I am a complete wimp about hot peppers but I do like this!

Oh my goodness!! That is my favorite way to eat jalapenos of all time! :) I haven't made any yet, but I need to because my jalapenos are coming out my ears. But the ones I buy are called "Sweet Fire". I'm glad you posted this; I was wondering what to do with all my jalapenos and I hadn't thought of this version of pickling them.
