    Citrus Candied Jalapeños

    Citrus Candied Jalapeños - a sweet and spicy condiment that works well with so many things - a topper for tacos, salads, burgers and sandwiches - endless options!

    So, I guess there is a thing about saving the top tier of your wedding cake, for an entire year, to enjoy on your first anniversary?

    Yeah, we didn't do that.

    We saved it. We brought it home. It sat in my parent's fridge for two whole days.

    Then we ate it.

    I figure if we want a cake on our anniversary next fall, I can order a fresh one! This was just too good - lemon cake with passionfruit buttercream and fresh berries. It was vegan, as were many of the food choices throughout the evening (I will share all the foods later). There was an identical flavored cake as Jason's grooms cake, which was also gluten free. They were both fantastic, and I could not be happier with how they turned out.

    The groom's cake was a Pearl marching snare drum. Jason is a drummer. It was one of my favorite details, and I love how it turned out.

    oh. Also? I said to follow me on Instagram last weekend. Silly. I wasn't taking any photos. I will share all kinds of photos and details soon. We had a hashtag - #HerrickWedding

    After staying downtown a few days after the wedding weekend, we came back home and I got cooking. I made these candied jalapeños a few weeks ago, and they did not last long. So I made a double batch last week. We have been enjoying them with every meal, literally. Breakfast, they find their way onto my avocado toast and into my breakfast burrito. I used some of the 'syrup' on a savory pancake the other day - so I had a sweet - savory - spicy thing going on. Perfection.

    I made something pretty epic with these just yesterday - I will share that soon.

    Citrus Candied Jalapenos

    citrus candied jalapeños

    adapted from citrus pickled onions

    YIELD: 12 ounces

    dairy, soy, and gluten free, vegan

    INGREDIENTS:

    ½ cup white vinegar
    ½ cup sugar (vegan)
    juice of 1 lime
    juice of 1 lemon

    ½ pound jalapeños (6-8, depending on size)

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Slice jalapeños into circles, removing some seeds if you prefer.

    In large saucepan over medium high heat, combine vinegar, sugar, lime and lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Stir continually, until sugar dissolves completely. Add sliced jalapeño, reducing heat to medium-low. Simmer for a several minutes, then turn off heat and allow to cool completely. Vinegar sugar will become slightly syrupy. Store in covered jar in refrigerator.

    Candied Jalapenos

    Sweet and spicy and goes with just about everything - my new favorite thing.

    The jalapeño level in that jar is getting pretty low...

      I should have taken the seeds out of the Jalapeños because they were to hot for us, but my neighbour was in heaven...I will try again without the seeds...thanks...Bonita

      I'm so happy for you - congratulations on your wedding! We ate our cake for 10 years. Seriously. It was good every year (double wrapped in ziplock, then a tupperware, in the freezer). And these - YUM!!

      I'm not into citrus flavors at all, but I had to comment on the cake 😉 Of course I was stalking your wedding via Facebook in a non-creepy way and can't wait for a recap (or sorts.) You looked SO beautiful--as did the cake--but more than that, you looked positively...happy. So, so happy. XO
