Candied hot pepper

Candied hot peppers were a type of hot green pepper candied via coating in a white powder. Inspired by how etaan crystals could be substituted for standardEndless Vigil kyber crystals to power a lightsaber, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs swapped out the traditional fruit garnish that the people of the planet Etai consumed with jybbuk slush topped with condensed nerf milk and so created Spiced Jybbuk Juice.
The peppers, which Tuggs described as sparkling like the crystal mines on Etai, balanced out the sweetness of the beverage with heat and were used alongside other red and green garnishes. After a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, Tuggs included the recipe for Spiced Jybbuk Juice in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY.
==Behind the scenes==
Candied hot peppers were part of a recipe in the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for Spiced Jybbuk Juice uses jalapeño slices coated in granulated sugar to represent the candied hot peppers.
