Johnny Jalapeno'S Cowboy Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups fresh jalapenos, sliced (must be fresh!)
1/2 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup light corn syrup
2 -4 drops green food coloring

Preparation

Place all ingredients into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until boiling.
Reduce temperature to low and simmer 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until liquid is reduced by about half.
Let cool, stirring occasionally (it will thicken more as it cools) You can serve it warm or transfer to a jar and store in refrigerator. Serve with crackers spread with cream cheese and the candy.
TO JAR FOR LONG STORAGE OR GIFTS: Carefully pour hot candy/jelly into sterilized 4 or 8 oz jars, leaving a 1/4\" headspace. Wipe jar rims, place warm lids and rings atop and tighten hand tight. Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool on a wire rack.
