Jalapenos are a gorgeous dish to serve, but they can also be a bit tricky to work with in terms of preserving them at home. In order to make candied jalapeños, you will need freshly harvested jalapeno peppers, sugar, vinegar syrup, half pints or more canning jars good enough to keep air bubbles, a box of food-grade handling disposable gloves
