My husband and I are obsessed with hot pepper jelly. Especially eating it on Asiago or Parmesan cheese bagels along with some cream cheese. I also love making hot wings with it, reducing it down and using it on grilled meats, adding it to olive oil for salad dressings and my most recent idea...creating a fabulous corn bread recipe. We get our hot pepper jelly in Iowa from the Amish but most recently I bought some from Uncle Gary's Gourmet Peppers. That is what I used in this recipe and it was fabulous. It too is incredible on cheese bagels with cream cheese! Recipe and photo are my own.
