    these were amazing. I only had a 16 oz jar of sliced jalapeno peppers so added just over 1 cup of sugar. I recommend pouring off some of the liquid and adding the sugar to the jalapenos in a separate bowl. Add jalapenos back to the original container and add back what ever liquid that - Read more ...

    I made 1/2 gallon due to not being able to find a gallon this morning at the store one of my friends brought some of these to work with crackers and cream cheese and I could not stay out of break area. If there was a 10 star this would get it.

    I couldn't find a large jar of these but bought a large can at sams club. I drained some of the juice off and added the 5 pound bag of sugar and heated it on the stove until all the sugar dissolved. After they cooled some I put them in smaller canning jars and made - Read more ...

    I think I may have misunderstood the directions. I had some garden jalapenos to get rid of and tried this recipe on them. I am guessing the peppers need to be pickled first? Did not work on fresh peppers. Needs clarification.

    I had these at a party and they were absolutely delicious! When some friends and I asked the host how to make them, he told me he would sell us a jar at $20 a jar. We all laughed at him thinking he was kidding but he wasn't. The last laugh is on him because - Read more ...

    I made this simply because I had left over jalapenos and was not going to waist them. I made this thinking I would probably never enjoy it. I mean sugar and jalapenos? yuck! Well today I finally opened that jar that had been sitting in the back of my fridge for two weeks. I did - Read more ...

    this is VERY good. We ate this on cream cheese with a cracker tastes like that at the specialty stores.
