Texas Rib Candy is the BOMB!

Rib Candy

Rib Candy

Texas Rib Candy is an experience like no other. If you like to have cookouts, or just grill out the meal’s meat, a supply of Rib Candy is not a luxury – it’s a necessity!

There are many flavors of Rib Candy to choose from, and since they’re all absolutely delicious, take my advice and just order them all. Your family will thank you, and you’ll be pretty happy about all those choices, yourself.

As our CEO himself, Craig Sharry, says, Rib Candy is “the bomb.” He’s right, too. It’s a pourable, brushable sauce that can be used at any time during the cooking process, or just poured over the top after you’re finished grilling. You can use it in a regular oven or microwave, too. In fact, you can even just put the bottles on the table and let everybody use them like ketchup, each to his own flavor preference.

You’ll find, though, that if you pour or brush Rib Candy onto your pork, chicken, lamb, loin, ribs, whatever, and let it sizzle, you’ll end up with a main dish that people will ask for by name next time you fire up the grill. Texas Rib Candy is just simply awesome.

Choose your flavor; Texas Pepper Jelly makes Rib Candy in the following blends: Apple Habanero, Apple Cherry Habanero, Mango Habanero, and Apple Cinnamon. All are sweet and spicy except for Apple Cinnamon, which is sweet and non-pepper-spicy. Hey, cinnamon is a spice!

The more you buy, the more you save. Stock up for those summer barbecues now!

Peach Pie, Texas Style!

Texaspeachpie Warm weather is here – well, most days, anyway – and it won’t be long until the peaches are ripe and it will be PIE TIME.

Adding a little Peach Habanero pepper jelly to your basic peach pie recipe will pep up your pie and make a difference your family and friends will LOVE.

Ingredients:

double pie crust – make it or buy it; your family won’t care

two large cans of sliced peaches, thoroughly drained, OR, four cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup sugar (I use Splenda)

1/4 cup Peach Habanero pepper jelly (yum)

Tiny dash of cinnamon

pat of butter

What to do:

Line a pie pan with half the crust. Cover with everything except the butter. Spread out smoothly, and put the butter pat on the very top. Cover with top crust.

Pierce the top crust in several places so your boiling pie filling can vent. I always cut a pine tree in mine, with a “TP” in the middle, so my family will know ’tis peach.

Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes; then reduce tempt to 325 and bake for another 40 minutes or until peaches are done. If you used canned peaches, you can start checking for “doneness” after a half hour.

Serve hot or cold. It’s delicious.

To stay on the safe side, you might want to make two pies. It will save a lot of bickering later one. 🙂

Shrimp and Pepper Jelly? Delicious!

shrimp Oh, I’ve said this so many times, but it bears saying again: so often, the simplest recipes are the best!

Shrimp are delicious, and always a hit with both family and guests. Seafood sauce is good, but it isn’t the only sauce that goes well with shrimp.

No matter what kind of shrimp you serve – boiled, grilled, fried, whatever! – there is just nothing so good as that shrimp dipped in Texas Pepper Jelly or Rib Candy.

In fact, I often buy a bag of cooked, frozen shrimp, lay it out over ice in a punch bowl, and just set out little bowls of every kind of pepper jelly – and one bowl with Rib Candy – that’s in my refrigerator, and stand back.

If you’re grilling the shrimp, pepper jelly and Rib Candy make for some fabulous marinade!

Every single time I serve shrimp and pepper jelly, I get compliments. It’s just simply delicious.

DELICIOUS. Shrimp and Texas Pepper Jelly. Shrimp and Rib Candy.

Plain old seafood sauce can’t even begin to compete.

Grilled Salmon with Pepper Jelly Glaze

grilledsalmon We had a big family reunion on Mother’s Day, and my sister and brother-in-law grilled a huge salmon for us. Salmon is one of our mother’s favorite foods, and since it was her day, we wanted everything to be exactly to her liking.

I brought homemade bread, a pan of persimmon pudding, and a jar of Pineapple Habanero pepper jelly I had intended to use it on the cream cheese, as a dip, but my brother-in-law’s face lit up like a lighthouse when he saw it, and he pretty much grabbed it out of my hand and used it as a glaze for the salmon.

It was absolutely delicious. Mike just brushed the Pineapple Habanero pepper jelly all over the slab of salmon and closed the grill’s lid. It smelled so good, the neighbors came out onto their porch and called out to us that they envied us our cookout menu!

More generous people than us might have invited them over to share, but we were all mesmerized by that aroma and weren’t about to share.

There were, as usual with a Texas Pepper Jelly product, no leftovers whatsoever. That salmon was inhaled before it was even cool enough to eat safely.

I highly recommend Pineapple Habanero pepper jelly for any purpose – on Sunday, we used it as a marinade-glaze for a slab of salmon. None of us will ever cook salmon without it again.

Texas Pepper Jelly Does anybody really believe that the best recipes are the complicated recipes? At Texas Pepper Jelly, sure, we have some complicated recipes, and they’re awesomely deliciousl

However, we also maintain that our simple recipes are some of the best. You don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to come out with a tasty treat for your family or friends. All you have to do is pour a jar of Texas Pepper Jelly over cream cheese, or spread some pepper jelly on your bread or crackers or toast. Any meat marinated in pepper jelly will melt in your mouth, and if I started nomming about Texas Pepper Jelly products and your grill, we’d be here all night.

But I will remind you that whatever you cook on your outdoor grill will be 100% better if you slather it in pepper jelly or Rib Candy.

New Product: Texas Pepper Jelly Now Has Apricot Habanero Pepper Jelly!

Good news for summer cooking – Texas Pepper Jelly has a new flavor!

I’m really excited, too, because apricot jam is my family’s favorite, and now that we can get it with that master touch of habanero, our sandwiches, dips, and other favorites are really going to be kicked up a notch.

I am already thinking about making some cocktail meatballs for the weekend. I have a recipe for a quick and easy sauce using pretty much any kind of jelly or jam, and Texas Pepper Jelly’s apricot habanero is going to make my good ol’ tried-and-true cocktail sauce crockpotpepperjellyinto a real treat.

Here’s how I do it:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Texas Pepper Jelly’s apricot habanero
3 cups bottled barbecue sauce
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green or red pepper, or both

Mix it all together and pour it into your crock pot. Add the meatballs or cocktail sausages or little wieners or shredded beef or pork or pretty much whatever kind of meat your family likes. Mixing the sausages and wieners together makes for a good dish, too.

Let your crockpot simmer for several hours and serve.

Mmm, Apricot Habanero pepper jelly. Thank you, Texas Pepper Jelly!

Monday Munchies: An Old Favorite, But New To My Guests!

Craig Sharry | April 18, 2011

Texas Pepper Jelly My box of Texas Pepper Jelly arrived while my Gulf Coast cousins were visiting, and I was thrilled! I knew they liked spicy foods, and I knew that one of my cousins actually made her own pepper jelly, and I was positive they would both agree that Texas Pepper Jelly was the best EVER.

And, I was right!

They were with me when the box arrived, and we brought it into the house immediately, and they passed the jars around, commenting on how pretty the pepper jelly looked in the sunlight. “It’s more than just pretty,” I told them.

So, I got out a brick of cream cheese, cut it into four chunks (I was in a hurry to show off the Texas Pepper Jelly) and poured a little pepper jelly over each piece of cream cheese. I opened a box of Ritz crackers and some wheat thins, and we all jumped in.

My daughter arrived in the middle of this pepper jelly orgy and I could tell by the look on her face that she was thinking, “you got more pepper jelly and didn’t tell me!”

We shared with her.

Four people literally licked that tray clean. My daughter hinted broadly that she would like to take home the opened jars, but this time I put my foot down and kept them.

I am serious when I tell you all that Texas Pepper Jelly is the best pepper jelly on the face of the earth. People from the Gulf Coast, who made their own, agreed: nothing they had ever made or bought in Mississippi held a candle to Texas Pepper Jelly.

Guess what we had for lunch when we returned from the airport today. . . . . peanut butter and pepper jelly sandwiches. And Fritos, which are pretty darn good dipped in Pepper Jelly, too.

We might be addicted to Texas Pepper Jelly. Then again, when I think about it, there’s probably no “maybe” about it. Texas Pepper Jelly has become a staple in our home.
