Never had pepper jelly? Where are you from? Lawd child, let me educate you!
Pepper jelly is a savory/sweet condiment that us southerners use with cream cheese for the perfect little snackin' treat when we are pinched for time. Now if you run across green tinted pepper jelly, don't be afraid - it isn't my favorite, but it will work if you are desperate. I prefer the pepper jelly pictured above. This is produced right down the road by Mama's Jam N' Jelly. It has a classic golden color and the texture is more like jam than jelly - which makes for easy spreading. To serve, arrange a block of cream cheese on a pretty pickle/relish plate and place the jar on the side with a bagel spreader - or feel free to spoon some of the pepper jelly directly onto the cream cheese and arrange some Ritz Crackers on the side (the salty-butteriness of a Ritz is perfect with pepper jelly and cream cheese.)
Order your own for $4 a jar from mamasjamnjelly@yahoo.com.
Enjoy!
