Recipe Description
1 cup of water1 cup of sugar1-3 hot peppers of your choice (jalapenos, habaneros, etc. are all good choices. I couldn't get my hands on fresh Ghost Peppers sadly).The 1:1 ratio will fill a small flip top bottle nearly to the top. The smaller Wreck container is 3/4 water to 3/4 sugar and has habaneros. *This recipe can be easily decreased or increased.
First and foremost, use gloves of some sort. It'll save you a lot of hassle later when you accidentally touch your face and don't have a burning sensation from the pepper oils. Wash and slice your peppers. The heat comes from the seeds and veins, so for a very mild syrup you want to remove the seeds and veins, for medium heat leave about half. You can always stick more seeds or peppers into your simple syrup after its cooked to infuse and get more heat. Also, it's super easy to make so make sure you write down how many peppers were used and whether or not it was too little or too much.
Mix the water and sugar in a pan and dissolve sugar over medium heat, let come to a boil. After boiling for a minute or so, lower the heat and add the peppers. Let simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, taste testing as you go.
When you are satisfied with the flavor and amount of heat, remove the syrup from the stove and pour into whatever container you plan to keep it in. I usually use small flip top bottles and a funnel. Allow to cool before putting the lid on. The cooked peppers can be used as a garnish, can be eaten as is, or saved for another recipe. Candied jalapenos are quite tasty. The syrup should stay good in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
