Ingredients

For the candied jalapeño

  • 1 jalapeño chile
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

For the ice cream

  • 1 pint fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. To make the candied jalapeño: Stem and seed the jalapeño. Chop the chile finely and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Add the jalapeño and continue to simmer until candied, about 10 minutes. Drain through a fine-mesh strainer, saving the freshly candied jalapeño bits and discarding the liquid. Spread the candied chile pieces on a plate to cool.
  3. Put the strawberries in a blender and process to a smooth purée. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove  the seeds, or leave unstrained. Transfer the strawberry purée to a large bowl; add the cream, condensed milk, sugar, salt, and vinegar; and whisk it all together until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and spin according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fold in the candied jalapeño. Eat immediately, or transfer to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for up to 1 week.
