I use Habanero Jelly from Kelly’s Jelly in Portland, OR.
Easter Ham. INJECT the ham with the jelly, down alongside the ham bone. Then I use the rest to baste and glaze the ham.
Same for RIBS. I just bought Habanero Honey jelly and cant wait to see how this works!

I just wanted to point out that this is a great way to add flavor to food when you are watching your salt. My recipe uses pectin as a thickener and has way less sugar than fruit jam too.

We were gifted a jar of homemade green pepper jelly for the holidays and I very much want to use it but other than serving with cream cheese and crackers, am kind of at a loss. Any ideas for GREEN pepper jelly?

I was recently given a recipe which I’m making for this Easter dinner a spiral ham with a Red Pepper Jelly and 3x’s strong coffee glaze.
My son who is big on ham and pork was wondering what other uses we could use this for….I said I would Google and see. Low and behold I found your site….We love pork chops , chicken wings, etc etc….Now I’m happy to know that it won’t just sit in my fridge until the next big holiday!

Thank you! Got Marionberry Pepper Jelly for Christmas and didn’t know how to use it. Now will try it on crackers with Gorgonzola Blue Cheese. Will also try on pork chops tonight.

Hi, I love using my jam on top of my tuna salad for a nice sweet touch with a consistency surprise for the mouth. I also like to add it to my peanut butter chocolate protein bars for an added flavor surprise at first bite! Good in ice cream or with cereal, too.
