Hot pepper jelly - what to do??

I just picked up some home done hot pepper jelly at a mom and pop coffeeshop. I've never really purchased this and used it although I think I've eaten it with brie and wheat thins or something like that.

What are some things I can use it for?

We usually pair it w/cream cheese

This is one of those condiments that always sounds like a lot of fun when you buy it (or taste at the seller, often on a Ritz w/cream cheese on it) and then when you get home try to figure where you're gonna store it and what you're really going to do with it.

I've got a jar myself, next to the Baconnaise, Frog Balls (spicy pickled brussels sprouts), salmonberry jam, etc.....

So lets see, what you are saying is that I save myself the time, trouble, and shelf space by immediately throwing it in the trash.

That does make some sense! :geek:

Do not shelve it....take that triple creme brie you bought and bring it to serving temp. Using good sourdough chunks or plain crackers, put a bit of the brie on the bread and top with the pepper jelly...it is yummy!

Hot pepper jelly on cream cheese is sinfully delish. Probably would work and many cheese. DO NOT throw it out, enjoy!!

Yes, with cream cheese. Great and easy for guests. I make a mound of CC and just dump (artfully, of course) the jelly over and surround with crackers. I look for spicy/sweet jellies to do this with. I recently found some apricot chili spread that was good too.

As good as it is on cream cheese its at another level on Brie

OK, old subject I know, but....

I was just at a local farmers market and a seller who makes 3 different pepper jellies gave this tip: glaze a pork roast or chicken with it. Didn't get to try it but I bet it's wonderful. Oh and her samples were on water crackers with chevre, yum

She had: mild confetti (with red, green bits plus seeds of?, very pretty!), medium pineapple jalapeno, hot mango habenero. They were all delish. I need to make some of this....

We love it with pork chops or grilled chicken breasts. DH eats it as the j on his pbj. I always have a jar or two in the pantry.
