Frequently Asked Questions - Campbell Gardens
What are Campbell Gardens Candied Jalapeños?
Campbell Gardens Candied Jalapeños are sweet-heat sliced jalapeños made by Campbell Gardens using a carefully balanced candied brine. They deliver a bold jalapeño flavor with a smooth sweetness and a gentle kick, making them easy to enjoy even for people who usually avoid spicy foods.
How spicy are Campbell Gardens Candied Jalapeños?
These candied jalapeños are mildly spicy. The natural heat of the jalapeño is softened by the sweet candied process, creating more flavor than burn. Most customers describe them as a sweet heat rather than hot, which makes them very versatile for everyday use.
What makes Campbell Gardens Candied Jalapeños different from other brands?
We start with farm-fresh jalapeños rather than peppers that have already been preserved in vinegar and then reprocessed.
Our recipe is also unusually simple. We do not load the jar with a long list of added flavorings and spices. The focus stays on the jalapeño itself, balanced with sweetness and just enough heat.
That is what makes them a true candied jalapeño — clean, simple and full of real pepper flavor.
How can I use Campbell Gardens Candied Jalapeños?
They are incredibly versatile. Use them on burgers, hot dogs, tacos, sandwiches, pizza and nachos, or serve them over cream cheese for an easy appetizer.
They are also great in deviled eggs, potato salad, baked beans and meat dishes. And don’t throw away the juice — the sweet-and-spicy brine is excellent in marinades, glazes and sauces.
What makes Campbell Gardens Candied Garlic Pickles different?
Our Candied Garlic Pickles are sweet, garlicky and packed with flavor.
They are made to be more than an ordinary pickle. The sweetness balances the vinegar and garlic, giving them a distinctive flavor that works well straight from the jar or added to sandwiches, burgers, deviled eggs, potato salad and charcuterie boards.
They are crisp, flavorful and easy to serve, which makes them a simple addition to meals, appetizers and entertaining.
What is the difference between Jalapeño Preserves and Pepper Jelly?
Jalapeño Preserves are made with real fruit, such as blueberry, peach or strawberry, combined with jalapeño for a sweet fruit flavor with a little kick.
Pepper Jelly has a smoother, more traditional jelly texture and focuses more on the sweet pepper and jalapeño flavor.
Both are easy to use with cream cheese, baked brie, meats, appetizers and glazes, but the preserves bring more fruit flavor while the pepper jellies have a cleaner pepper-forward taste.
Do Campbell Gardens products need to be refrigerated?
Yes. Once opened, all Campbell Gardens products should be refrigerated.
This includes Candied Jalapeños, Candied Garlic Pickles, Jalapeño Preserves and Pepper Jellies.
How long do Campbell Gardens products last?
Our products are dated with a Best By date approximately two years from production.
That date is about quality, not a sudden safety cutoff. A jar may still be safe after the Best By date if it has remained properly sealed and stored, but the quality can gradually decline over time. Texture, crispness, color and flavor may not be as good as they were when the product was fresher. Our recipes rely on traditional ingredients such as sugar and vinegar rather than adding extra chemical preservatives for shelf life.
Always check the Best By date printed on the jar you receive.
