Peggy from the SB Canning page asked me whether or not she could add pineapple chunks to the pickled jalapenos in order to make a sweeter-heat version. By using the same recipe for Cowboy Candy (pickled jalapenos) and adding about 4 or 5 chunks to the bottom of the jars the result is a great combination of flavors. It could also be a dip you can blend in a food processor like the recipe Jennifer made (Cowboy Candy Dip) with cream cheese and serve it at your Hawaiian Luau. Be creative and if you find a great recipe come back and share!
Hawaiian Cowboy Delight
This new jar has the makings of a Hawaiian pizza with Canadian bacon, a quick blend or chop and you have a great quick relish for hamburgers, or just a great appetizer with cream cheese and crackers.

Posted on: March 31, 2020Would there be a way to incorporate the pineapple juice with the leftover cowboy candy juice to use as a marinade later? If so, would it be acidic enough to safely water bath can it?

Posted on: March 31, 2020I want to make the Hawaiian Cowboy Delight and in one of the photos there are red peppers with the jalapeños and pineapple. Can tell me what the red peppers are? Thanks!
