The 10 Most Popular Ways
to Use DarnHotPepper, LLC Gourmet Jellies:

Spread spoonfuls onto fresh items such as muffins, corn bread, fresh loaf bread, or biscuits. Accentuate the use of fresh baked goods by using the surprising combination of sweet and sassy spice together. You’ll like it. Buen provecho!

As a “dip” you only need to open a jar and pour it into a shallow bowl and heat slightly & you’re ready
to pop in those chicken wings, large chips, or even bread sticks and scoop up the delectable taste.

To make appetizers, start with crackers, melba toast or rye bread squares and add a
bit of goat cheese, pimento cheese or cream cheese, and top with a teaspoon of one of our gourmet jellies. Decorate with green or black olive slice……. Yum!

4. Use DHP jellies ( Apricot, Jalapeno-Orange or Lemon) to brush onto Asparagus or New Green Beans and then
              quickly sear them on the grill or in a hot skillet ; you’ re making a healthy vegetable addition to your meal.

As a topping on items from the grill, our gourmet jellies and jams are unparalleled for easy application. Wait until sizzling meat, fish, chicken or kabobs are almost done, then spread on one tablespoon per piece served over the top of heated item. The jelly will instantly melt and conform to the shape of the serving. It makes a tangy and delicious glaze.

To enhance the flavor of a baked ham, spread 3 Tbsp. of Habanero Honey Spread
Over the ham and let it bake in ! Delicioso!

In combo with sour cream, you can use any of our jellies half/half ratio and add to that 3-4 tablespoons of milk or buttermilk, to adjust desired thickness; this will form a delicious and pourable topping for fruit or dressing for a salad.

8. Use the heated jam/jelly as a syrup for ice Cream desserts or over cake and ice cream.
Slightly heat any jar of our gourmet jellies —- by putting the jar w/o lid into a small bowl of water; and then
Set all in the microwave for : 60 seconds for a full jar, less for partial.

9. Easy way to make a quick party appetizer is to unwrap a plain bar of cream cheese and using one can of small
Shrimp ( drain off liquid; then press the tiny shrimp into the cream cheese, cover with poured on Apricot Ambrosia
Or Jalapeno-Orange and voilà a great appetizer to use on your favorite cracker or rye bread.

5 de Mayo came and went……….and we still don’t have peppers in the ground!

Mother Nature is so unpredictable, she just does whatever she want’s w/ out consulting us. So, that being said, this year’s green house (rebuilt after the ice storm)…again, has a slightly different configuration. That makes it bigger and allows space for all the working stages of seeding and sedling transplant into plug trays.

Here’s some views of current greenhouse and plants.
FARM UPDATE.MAYO 007 Most varieties are doing well even the new Pimento. And there’s one of me next to the new Compost Tumbler — bigger than life size,huh?
FARM UPDATE.MAYO 011I’am hoping for great things once we get more loads of compost made. Although the flowers are doing great this year from all the rain. Strawberries can always use the compost though.

- Hoping for sunshine soon.
