SpitFire (my beautiful bride) buys the large jars of sliced nacho jalapenos then drains all peppers with the juice into a large bowl. Add 4 cups of sugar. Stir it up real good and place in the refrigerator. Stir once a day for a week then put the peppers back in the jar and as much juice as will fit.
Then when we fry catfish she will strain some sweetened jalapenos, toss them into a bag cornmeal mix then drop them into the grease....better than fried okra.....
