Cowboy Candy (candied Jalapenos)

"My Cowboy Candy (Candied Jalapenos) is a sweet and spicy treat. Sliced jalapeños simmered in a sweet, tangy syrup until they’re glossy, sticky, and just the right kind of spicy. Whether you spoon it over cream cheese, tuck it into sandwiches, or serve it with grilled meats, it adds punch without overpowering. I love easy-to-make snacks which I can use for gifts or parties, like my Fried Pickles and my Bread and Butter Refrigerator Pickles. I love this recipe because it’s a quick, easy, and unique snack that’s super delicious. This recipe is perfect to add to your game day appetizer collection. It uses a straightforward method that is easy for beginners. It achieves a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy. The addition of turmeric, mustard seeds, and celery seeds creates a distinctive, savory flavor. The finished pickle like product and the leftover syrup are both incredibly versatile and can be used in numerous dishes and drinks."
