You like candy and peppers? You're not scared from a challenge? The daredevil among your friends? Try the Cowboy candy! How spicy will you go? Learn how to make the candied peppers with the following recipe!
Ingrediënten
- 10 (or more) Hot peppers Pick the pepper of your taste or a variation of peppers
- 250 ml beer syrup
Instructies
- First you need to make your beer syrup by this recipe. You can use different beer than I did but it will lead to a different taste (like this porter syrup on Amazon if you don't feel like making it). Next time I will use a beer that leads to more hop notes in the end result. You can also opt for simple syrup but again the result will be less complex in flavor profile.
- Gently heat the syrup (make sure it doesn't boil). While the syrup is warming you can slice the peppers in rings.
- Add the peppers to the hot syrup and let them infuse for 20 minutes.
- Remove the peppers from the syrup put them on a tray with a baking sheet and dry them in your BBQ/smoker (or oven) for 2 hrs at +- 70°C/160°F. If you can't control your BBQ at that temperature it's safer to use the oven. It's a sidedish after all.
- Put them aside to cool down uncoverd so the syrup can dry out a bit more.
