Seems like it would be a waste to discard the syrup, maybe even rising to
the level of insult to El Grande. I might try this and use the syrup as a
basis for another candy, maybe (Red Savina) Divinity.
Thanx for the recipe,
Frank

Subject: [CH] candied chiles
Greetings everyone - delurking just long enough to post this. I found this
as part of an obscure dumpling recipe involving frogs legs...
strange, but true! I might roll them in granulated sugar at the end,
similar to candied orange peel... Also, would be an interesting addition
to any fruit cake recipe, that is, if anyone makes them anymore. Enjoy -

Candied Chilies:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
20 dried small red-hot chilies
For the candied chilies: In a saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil.
Reduce the heat and add the chilies. Simmer until they appear translucent,
about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the syrup.
Strain the chilies, discarding the syrup, and dry on a cooling rack for
about three hours.
