Cowboy candy-- help!

Found a recipe for cowboy candy that sounded awesome-- we love jalapenos-- fresh, raw, candied, in salad, salsa, and especially as cowboy candy BUT when i made the recipe, after i put the "candy" up in jars, the sugar turned to a somewhat crispy-crunchy state. Wonder what i did wrong? do i add some white corn syrup to the mix? Seems like the proportions were about 2 cups sliced jalapenos to 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar-- bring the water and sugar to a boil then add the peppers and cook a few minutes--maybe i am off here; when the proportions are correct, this is the absolute best condiment you could ever hope to find. Any ideas?
