Ingredients

3 jalapeño peppers
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups water

Instructions

Cut the pepper lengthwise into four strips, cleaning out white pith and seeds.

Combine the sugar and water. Heat to make a simple syrup.

Cook the jalapeño strips in the simple syrup for a few minutes, then strain the syrup and let the strips cool for a few minutes.

Repeat the cooking process three or four times, reusing the syrup, or until the strips are nicely candied.

Very good recipe, however they peppers end up VERY sticky. I had to dust them with sugar after I pulled them from the syrup the last time. They're like little sour patch kids this way. Sweet, sweet. WHOA! HOT! The left over syrup is also AMAZING in tea.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
