Can these sit out on the counter or do they have to be refrigerated? I received this recipe from someone but it called for shaking the jar twice a day for 3-4 weeks. They said to just sit them on the counter but the jalapenos jar said they have to be refrigerated after opening. I don't want to make anyone sick by leaving these on the counter - but will the sugar liquefy as well if it is put into the refrigerator? I made some and I left them out but now am nervous about serving them to anyone.

Loved these!!! I reduced the recipe, to a smaller jar (9 oz.) and the sugar, accordingly. After faithfully and dutifully shaking the jar for 5 days, I was rewarded with these green gems, glistening brightly, just calling for the cream cheese and crackers! I obliged! :) The sweet from the peppers is wonderful against the cream cheese, with the hint of the heat, at the end. I think that I'll be making these to include in the gift baskets I make for my friends around the holidays! Thanks so much for sharing, breezermom!

Well, this was a bit of a treat. A friend and I got to talking, and I mentioned this recipe to her, and ended up making it. I used a small can of slivered jalapenos that were labeled "hot" marinated. They've actually been sitting around for about a week in the sugar. Just pulled some out with whipped cream cheese and crackers -really a nice treat. They are still quite not, but the sweet/hot taste works well with the cream cheese.

Finally, after waiting 5 long days, my jalapenos were ready for tasting. I have to admit that I might have tasted one or two along the way - hope that was not too much of a sin. They certainly do have a after-bite, but it is addicting. Can't wait to serve these with some cream cheese. I plan to keep a jar handy at all times. Thanks for the post!

wonderful recipe. I was finally able to find a jar of jalapenos but a smaller jar probably 9 oz. I used only 1/2 cup of sugar with it. The first time I tasted it, I found it sweet but then the spicy taste of the jalapeno came through. It's so yummy. Sweet and spicy. Thanks Breezermom :) Made for PRMR tag game
