Enjoy: After a week, the candied jalapeños are ready to enjoy! Refrigerate for longer storage and to further enhance the flavor.
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a cinnamon stick to the jar during the infusion process.
If you prefer a less intense heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before dicing.
