Notes

Lately I've been adding diced Cowboy Candy (candied jalapeños) and a drizzle of its brine, to the filling mixture. This is in place of the more commonly added diced sweet pickle juice/brine. This addition is over top perfect in our book, and if you have too many jars of cowboy candy sitting in the pantry, this recipe will put some of them to work for you.
