Candied Jalapeños in 30 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Wash the jalapeños and slice them into uniform ¼ inch rounds.
2. Toss the jalapeño slices with salt in a bowl and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
3. Combine the granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard powder in a medium stainless steel saucepan.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.
5. Carefully stir in the sliced jalapeños.
6. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 5–8 minutes until the peppers are translucent and the syrup has thickened to a glossy consistency.
