Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pineapple chunks into sterilized jars, packing them in tightly.
Pour the hot syrup over the pineapple in the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
Seal the Jars:
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any syrup residue.
Place sterilized lids on the jars and screw on the bands until fingertip-tight.
Process the Jars:
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are properly sealed and preserved.
Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a towel or rack.
Store and Enjoy:
Once the jars are completely cool, check the seals. Store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before eating to allow the flavors to meld.
Enjoy your Pineapple Cowboy Candy as a sweet and spicy condiment with meats, cheeses, or as a topping for crackers and sandwiches.
