I have a drawer full of peppers in my fridge and would like to can some using sugar for a sweet jalapeno. Does anyone have a recipe? My Ball book only has salsa and jelly.

Here's a recipe I found last winter fall but haven't tried it yet.
Ingredients
4 lbs fresh jalapeno peppers sliced
1 medium Onion; diced
0.5 cup vinegar
0.5 cup water
6 cups sugar
2 tablespoons turmeric
1.5 teaspoons celery seed (optional)
0.5 teaspoon mustard seed (optional)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger
4 drops green food coloring (optional)
Slice Jalapenos into thin slices and dice the onions. Place jalapenos in pan with the water and vinegar. It doesn't take much vinegar/water, because the peppers will make a LOT of water on their own. Bring the mixture to a boil then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer unitl tender (about 10-20 minutes.) Remove the lid from the pan carefully and do not breath fumes. Pour off most of the water and vinegar. Or, you can dip out the peppers with a slotted spoon, then pour the water/vinegar down the drain.
Return the peppers back to the original pot.
(slowly) Add the sugar and spices, bring to soft candy-like temperature to completely disolve the sugar. (this will take some time, and you want to bring the temp up gradually, stirring only occassionally). Use a candy thermometer. I don't know what temperature to bring them to that's one of the things the original poster left off
Place boiling mixture into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. If you don't hear or see this happen it did not seal, and the contents of that jar will have to be reheated, poured back into the hot jar and resealed - or eaten right away.
Place sealed jars of Sweet Hot Jalapenos on shelf for about 1-2 weeks to 'cure' before opening and using. They can be eaten right away also the site said.
Id think it would make a killer spread with some cream cheese. If you wanted to really make something good add some smoked salmon, or smoked turkey, even smoked bacon to mix in with the cream cheese and the sweet hot jalapenos. A smoky sweet hot spread like that
One other thing they left off was how much it makes. Again I've never tried it but something like 100 people reviewed it and gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars so I saved the link to it.

Oh, that sounds like a good one. I'm printing this one. Thank you! Another question; can I use apple cider vineger instead of white?

I've never made the recipe myself so I don't know if you can suppliment with cider vinegar or not. I found it last winter when I was surfing the net and planning out my garden. I planted a few extra jalapeno plants since we want to make a lot of salsa and I figured Id better have a back up plan for extra jalapenos that I'm sure to get and found the recipe I just posted.
You could try a batch and see how it tastes sorry thats the best answer I can give...
