Steps:
- Wearing gloves, remove the stems from all of the jalapeno peppers. The easiest way to do this is to slice a small disc off of the stem-end along with the stem. Discard the stems.
- Slice the peppers into uniform 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Set aside.
- In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, white sugar, turmeric, celery seed, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the pepper slices and simmer for exactly 4 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers, loading into clean, sterile canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar.
- Turn heat up under the pot with the syrup and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 6 minutes.
- Use a ladle to pour the boiling syrup into the jars over the jalapeno slices. Insert a cooking chopstick to the bottom of the jar two or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust the level of the syrup if necessary. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp paper towel and fix on new, two-piece lids to finger-tip tightness.
- *If you have leftover syrup, and it is likely that you will, you may can it in half-pint or pint jars, too. It's wonderful brushed on meat on the grill or added to potato salad or, or, or... In short, don't toss it out!
- Place jars in a canner, cover with water by 2-inches. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. When it reaches a full rolling boil, set the timer for 10 minutes for half-pints or 15 minutes for pints.
- When timer goes off, use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a cooling rack. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. When fully cooled, wipe them with a clean, damp washcloth then label.
- Allow to mellow for at least two weeks, but preferably a month before eating. Or don't.

SUGARED JALAPENOS
A friend at work gave these to me last Christmas, and I had to have the recipe. These are so good! I can eat them right out of the jar, but they are especially good on burgers with monterrey jack cheese, with turnip greens, or peas or beans (southern style). The amount of sugar is an estimate...basically you equal it to the amount of jalapeno slices you have. Easy and delicious!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Peppers: Select firm, fresh jalapeños with smooth skin and no blemishes. Smaller peppers tend to be spicier, while larger ones are milder.
- Wear Gloves: Capsaicin, the compound that gives jalapeños their heat, can irritate your skin. Wear gloves when handling the peppers to prevent burning sensations.
- Remove the Seeds and Ribs: For milder sugared jalapeños, remove the seeds and ribs before candying. This will reduce the heat level significantly.
- Use a Candy Thermometer: To ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct consistency, use a candy thermometer. The ideal temperature for the syrup is between 230°F (110°C) and 235°F (113°C).
- Store Properly: Store the candied jalapeños in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
