Pepper jelly is a mix of peppers, sugar and vinegar, which are combined with pectin to form a sweet and spicy preserve in jelly form. Classic red and green pepper jellies taste like home, but we’re also fans of hotter blends like Citrus & Spice, Strawberry & Cayenne and Fig & Habanero from Farmer’s Daughters out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Most people serve pepper jelly with a brick of cream cheese and Wheat Thins or crunchy crackers, but it works as a topping for everything from pork to chicken to biscuits and deep-fried turkey necks.
