Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Cowboy Candy
- Prepare your ingredients by dicing the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks and slicing the jalapeños thinly, removing the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor.
- Combine the diced pineapple, sliced jalapeños, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and lemon juice in a large pot. Stir gently and bring to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for around 20-30 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.
- While simmering, sterilize your jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.
- Pour the hot candy into the sterilized jars, leaving a quarter-inch of space at the top and seal tightly with lids.
- Allow the jars to cool undisturbed for 12-24 hours at room temperature, storing them in a cool, dark place.
