Cook's Note:
This is a neat way to utilize the sweet, ripened red chiles in an unusual way. These candied chiles are good on their own, but even better atop Green Chile Ice cream, or add some zing to your granola trail mix. This recipe also produces an incredible byproduct- Red Chile-infused simple syrup! Save this in your refrigerator and use for cocktails, lemonade, chocolate cake, even an ice cream topping!
