Ground dried candied peppers on ice cream sounds like the bomb
I was thinking about this all night and morning. The possibilities are freakin' endless! Especially on BBQ! How about pancakes?! Belgian waffles?! Mixed into chocolates?! My God, I can't wait to freakin' make these.

I'm all like.....

The timing of this thread is perfect too. My wife just pulled out a gallon bag of red Scotch Bonnets from the freezer in the kitchen yesterday morning, and goes "Seriously, how long are these f**king things gonna sit in here, taking up space?!"

I had no idea they were even in there :rofl:
 
When I made a batch, I used a slotted spoon to put the candied peppers in small jelly jars which left a good amount of syrup in the pan.  I saved the sweet spicy syrup for use in stir fry, would work as a simple syrup in drinks, on ice cream or pancakes....mmmmm...
 
 
A good way to serve candied peppers is with a block of cream cheese and hWheat Thin crackers.  Like that classic shrimp and cocktail sauce hors dourves, but better!

Haha. So if I got this straight you can (or cannot?) candy frozen peppers, correct?

Damn..... I probably wasn't even factoring the fact that my pods were frozen into the equation, YAM. I've still never made candied pods, but I think what you're hinting at is correct; I'm pretty sure frozen pods will NOT work :mope:

Thought I'd read that somewhere. I'd have to go back to look, but I think you're right

(That big bag of Bonnets is still in my freezer too :rofl: )
 
Previously frozen can still work but you are better making pepper leather (fruit leather) with them.

You should be able to candy them. Be sure they are thoroughly thawed, and relatively dry. The candied peppers will also turn out slightly softer then from fresh. That is unless you're making them as a hard candy.

I would think "hard candy-ish" would be better to blitz them in the food processor. I've gotta get off my lazy ass and try this some time, hahaha
 

I have a post on making hard candied peppers. The soft method in the thread should be done first.
Yes you can grind them afterwards, but they get sticky fast if left exposed to air.
