Notes

Storing
  • It can be kept for 2 - 4 weeks in the fridge as long as it is in an air tight container.
  • If you need to keep it for longer you can freeze it.  Using ice cube trays to freeze works well.
Tips
  • Stir it often while heating to ensure it heats evenly and does not burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • Use a fine strainer to make sure all the jalapeno seeds and pieces are removed from the syrup.
  • Make sure to let it sit and cool for 1- 2 hours to let it thicken up.
