Slap You Silly Jalapenos


"SLAP YOU SILLY" JALAPENOS!.......

Almost any day, anytime, you will find a bowl of these sweet and hot little dickens on the menu over here at the bunkhouse, halfway house, filling station, cheap hotel, dormitory, B & B, waystation, or whatever our blessed home is for that moment. But, if you like jalapenos, don't delay it takes a day or two for them to set up and get frisky........
First you need a can or jar of sliced jalapenos (pickled)....size is not really important. We use a gallon size because everybody here loves them but you decide.

Drain these babies and find a container with a good fitting lid that will hold them. Now, bear with me because I have never used any kind of measurement on this preparation, nor will you once you get the hang of it. With that said, let's go....on the bottom of the container, put about 1/4 inch layer worth of sugar. Then, about an inch or two of the drained jalapenos followed again by the sugar. Keep going like this until you reach the top. Cover and give a good shake. Put in refrigerator. For a day or two, give it a shake when you think of it. Once you see that the sugar has settled into the jalapenos and dissolved....get ready to be slapped silly!

If you get into these you might want to try a few extra ingredients, like a sliced onion, garlic clove, thinly sliced carrot....or maybe even get real exotic and add some raisins. We're pretty much purists but I wouldn't want you to miss the possibilities especially if they are going to "Slap You Silly."
