Red Pepper Jelly

If you've never had red pepper jelly, I recommend you go right out and get some. It's basically, crushed red peppers in a sweet jelly. I know, it sounds like it would taste really gross, but it doesn't. The amount of red pepper is not over-abundant, and it's not like you'd spread it on a piece of toast and eat it for breakfast. I usually have it with a good sharp cheddar cheese and crackers. I do love cheddar cheese when it's been able to come to room temperature. The flavor is much stronger.

i buy my red pepper jelly at Cape Cod Crafters in Olde Shrewsbury Village, but you can pick it up at any good grocery store. I was in the Vermont Country Store last weekend and sampled some Red Raspberry Pepper Jelly - not as spicy as the plain Red Pepper Jelly.

On second thought, the pepper jelly might be good on rye pr pumpernickel toast alongside* 2 fried eggs.




*Ever watch Sports Night, by far one of the best TV shows ever? Ever night, the anchor would announce that he was "Dan Rydell alongside Casey McCall" or vice versa. I always loved that.
