Hot Deviled Eggs

• 6 hard cooked eggs

• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 1½ teaspoons sugar

• 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon vinegar

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 4-6 drops Tabasco

• ¼ cup candied jalapeños, diced fine

Peel and cut eggs lengthwise and remove yolks. Place egg white halves on tray and egg yolks in a small bowl. Mash yolks with fork and add remaining ingredients except for candied jalapeños. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of diced candied jalapeños in each egg white halve. Spoon the yolk mixture on top to cover. If you prefer, of course, you can put diced candied jalapeños on top but we like it between the white and yolk mixtures for a surprise burst of flavor. Top off the eggs with your favorite toppings of bacon bits, parsley and green onions.
