I made pepper jelly. I made pepper jelly because I love pepper jelly. There's something funny to me about the whole concept of making jelly out of peppers: it comes out acting like green jell-o gone naughty.
One of my favorite meals is this: red potatoes, cornbread and peas. Zipper Cream Peas. I top my peas with a dollop of pepper jelly and am in heaven.
I realize friends to the north feed these peas to their cattle. Cowpeas, they call them. Please don't remind me of this. Down here, these peas sell for $28 a bushel. I would know. I just gave someone $28 for a bushel of them.
For the pea haters among us, pepper jelly also goes great with cream cheese and crackers. But it's very Texas. It should be eaten on a porch while wearing scuffed leather boots. Just sayin'.
Recipe forthcoming. I still have some naughty jelly tweaking to do, I'm afraid....

I adore pepper jelly too! :-) I especially love it on my hamburgers with sharp cheddar cheese. Delish! :-)
I just enjoyed a summer afternoon yesterday, complete with pepper jelly, cream cheese, and crackers. Delish!
Mmmm looks good!
Only you could make pepper jelly look yummy!
We use pepper jelly with cream cheese and crackers and it is soooo yummy. I never thought I would like it because I am not one for too spicy, but the cream cheese makes it so smooth.
Care to share the recipe?
Brin, I've got a bunch of peppers just waiting to get "naughty"! I know something you'd love -- when in Mexico a few years we ran across a paletero (popsicle man) and he had all flavors of popsicles. Including - "chile" flavor!!! It was my very favorite! It was strawberry or cherry red and sweet, yet it have a definite zing of hot peppers! Reminded me of pepper jelly. I haven't been able to find them here. I'm sure they were probably home-made popsicles, but boy were they great!!! I ate 3 in a row!
Mmmm...I LOVE red pepper jelly over cream cheese with crackers. I "found" out about this a few years ago and it's my favourite party snack now to serve! I've not tried the green pepper jelly....note to self to make soon! Heather
Oh, I DO love me some pepper jelly--all varieties - I can honestly say that I never met a pepper jelly I didn't like!!! Red, green--whatever--I must say that emerald green jelly looks mighty good!! I like it on cream cheese, but it sounds wonderful on cream peas! We always put Rotel on our pinto beans and crumbled cornbread, and chow chow relish on our peas-crowder, cream, black-eyed--all of em! Looking forward to your shop!
Anything to disguise peas. ;> I love pepper jelly in the usual way...cream cheese and a light butter cracker. Will watch for the recipe.
I made your jalapeno and cranberry jelly a few years back and it was great on skillet cornbread! Can't wait to try this one. My mom used to make green tomato jelly... can't really remember if I liked it or not.
I love pepper jelly also! The color is so pretty. :) xoxo
Here in Pennsylvania we make a red pepper jam. It's call Lancaster County caviar. Servered over cream cheese also. Love it!
I love pepper jelly. Reminds me of YaYa Sisterhood. Cream cheese and pic a peppa sauce! Looks Yummy!
I have never tried this but I'm a jalapeno fanatic and eat them on everything (candied jalapenos are my favorite thing in the world). Can't wait for the recipe and how-to :-)
oops ! I left a comment last night but I must have missed the word verification. I stumbled upon a blog that made me think of you ... I think you'll love it (many of the very same themes found here at Messy & Thrilling) so I wanted to be sure to pass it along to you.
