Very tasty! I love that I can now make these at home. I have always balked at the price of these peppers when I would see them at the store. These were delicious on toast spread with cream cheese.

Nice idea to serve the jalapenos up in a different way. Folks at work were intrigued with the easy recipe

Love them! Found your recipe and figured it had to be cheaper to buy a big jar and make them than to buy what my family calls "Sweet Hots". I didn't want to do the whole jar as I like jalapenos with just about anything so I used a smaller jar, stuffed it full, and started with 1/4 cup sugar. Ended up (like another reviewer) using about 3/4 cup sugar in the end. But it was easily adjustable to personal sweet/hot preference. They are wonderful. Plan on making another jar and giving to my parents since they love them too. Thanks for posting!

These were so good and so easy. I tried a similar recipe in the past that required boiling all the ingredients together. This was so much easier. I served as suggested with cream cheese and crackers. This makes a lot of sweet/hot syrup; I'm thinking of adding the syrup to other things for a flavor boost.

I made these with my DH in mind but I absolutely LOVE them! I can't tolerate too much heat but these were a great combo of hot/sweet. I put some in baked beans I made last night and they were awesome. I think next I will try some chopped up in potato salad instead of pickle relish. Thanks for the great recipe!
