Comment RECIPE for a classic cowboy candy recipe and ways to spice it up. I had actually never tried cowboy candy until my uncle shared it with me this weekend. He’s had a great jalapeño crop which is why he made some recently. Keep in mind you can use the syrup to make pepper jelly, marinate meat, make salad dressings, or as a sauce on burgers etc I wish I would have used double the peppers because I didn’t realize how much it would reduce down. | Real Farmer Jeff
