What’s Cookin’ Wednesday: Texas Pepper Slaw

Craig Sharry | March 18, 2009
No comments

whatscookinwednesdayPeople tend to be very picky and possessive about cole slaw, you know.  Sometimes, it’s hard to let yourself discover new and different cole slaw!  For whatever reason, people want their cole slaw to be exactly the same, all the time.  I’ve seen people reject perfectly good cole slaw in restaurants, just because it wasn’t what they were used to!

Well, Texas Pepper Slaw isn’t what anyone is used to; it’s BETTER than what we’ve been used to!  In the magic and  magestical world of cold slaw, Texas Cole Slaw is KING.

Here’s how to make it:

1 bag shredded cabbage

1 shredded apple

1/4 cup shredded onion

2 tbs. cider vinegar

1 tsp. dry mustard

1 jar Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly (other flavors of pepper jelly work, too, but my son likes it best with Pineapple Habanero.)

Mix it all together in a big bowl, cover, and refrigerate until it’s time to eat.

Seriously, this Texas Pepper Slaw is fantastic.  You’ll never go back to plain old creamy slaw again.

Monday Munchies: PB&J with a Tasty Twist

mondaymunchiesA peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a simple thing, but almost everybody loves them!  They’re easy to whip up, fairly nutritious, and very filling – all in all, a  perfect munchie!

My kids love PB&J, and since we’ve discovered Texas Pepper Jelly, they love to use THAT, instead of plain ol fruit jam, on their sandwiches.  A peanut butter and PEPPER JELLY sandwich is a taste bud delight.  Next time your kids ask for a PB&J, why not give them a real treat and use your favorite Texas Pepper Jelly on it?  PB&PJ!!!

It took my family by surprise the first time, but now?  They don’t want their PB&J made any other way!

PB&PJ:  Could a nutritious munchie BE any simpler?

What’s Cookin’ Wednesday: Kickin’ Fruit Salad

Craig Sharry | March 11, 2009
No comments

whatscookinwednesdayThis awesome fruit salad can be part of the meal, or the dessert!  You can use all fresh fruit, or all canned fruit, or a mix!  In the winter, it’s often easier to use canned fruit, with as much fresh as you can find in the market.  Also, feel free to substitute pretty much any kind of fruit you like!  Berries work nicely with this recipe, too.

Ingredients:

1.  1 can sliced peaches, drained

2.  1 can pineapple chunks, drained

3.  1 small can mandarin oranges, drained

4.  2 bananas, sliced

5.  1 cup green grapes, seedless

6.  1 cup red grapes, seedless

7.  Two apples, peeled and sliced

8.  1 cup miniature marshmallows

9.  1/2 cup maraschino cherries

10.  1 cup Peach Habanero or Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly.

Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until served.

Texas Raspberry Chipotle Crab Dip

crab We’re huge Crab Dip fans here, but this is the best recipe for crab dip I’ve ever found!  It takes a little longer than the quick and easy recipes I usually love, but this recipe is well worth the wait!

Ingredients:

1 package cream cheese (or Neufchatel)

1 small bunch fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup chopped crabmeat (canned is fine)

1 cup Texas Raspberry Chipotle Salsa

Mix these ingredients together, THOROUGHLY!  Set aside.

Mix together:

1 tablespoon melted butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup white wine

1/3 cup grated Parmesian cheese (not the powdery kind!)

1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese

2 finely chopped green onions

dash salt, dash pepper

Add second batch of ingredients to first batch and blend well.  Spinach should be slightly wilted now.  Spread into greased baking pan.

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.  Let cool JUST enough to bear, and start dipping crackers, breadsticks, pretzels, toast, ANYTHING, into it.

Don’t be shy!  If you don’t get in there soon, there won’t be any left!  This stuff is DELICIOUS!!!!

The World’s Easiest, Tastiest Party Dip!

Craig Sharry | March 6, 2009
No comments

Don’t be one of those people who serve the same old snacks at every get-together or party!  Give your guests something different, something awesome, something absolutely delicious!  Give them something to talk about!

A little Texas Pepper Jelly over the cream cheese will turn the world’s simplest dip into a work of art: something so delicious, your guests will be talking about it the next day, and the next.

The world’s simplest dip is also one of the world’s tastiest dips, you know.  Just crank it up a notch, and use Texas Pepper jelly instead of sweet jelly or jam, and you’ll give your guests a real treat!  Throw a variety of crackers on the tray, and step back: the stampede will begin shortly.

If you’re dieting, use Neufchatel cheese.  It tastes exactly the same as cream cheese, without the calories!

(Yes, that’s my table, and my tray, and my crackers, and my Neufchatel cheese, and MY PEPPER JELLY.  And, I might add, a good time was had by all, that night. . . .)

What’s Cookin’ Wednesday: Pineapple Chicken Glaze

Craig Sharry | March 4, 2009
No comments

Oh, my DEARS!  If you don’t already have the Texas Pepper Jelly eCookbook, you’re really missing out!

This is one of my family’s favorites: We grill it outside in the good weather, and if the weather is bad and we just HAVE to have some, we broil or bake it in the oven.  It works in the crockpot, too!

Pineapple Chicken Glaze:

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/3 cup Texas pepper jelly Pineapple Habanero

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/3 teaspoon dried thyme

Melt butter in saucepan.  Add cornstarch and blend.  Add remaining ingredients; cook five minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.  Brush on chicken during last five minutes of broiling or grilling time.  Heat remaining glaze and serve with the chicken.

Now, y’all get over here and get yourself this eCookbook!  It’s fantastic!  Sign up for our free Newsletter, and we’ll send you a sample of our eCookbook for FREE!

Texas Habanero Salsa: The BEST SALSA EVER!

Craig Sharry | February 27, 2009
No comments

My son and his friends are Texas Habanero Salsa fans, BIG TIME!

Any one of them can demolish an entire 10-oz jar in one sitting.  The only thing that makes them stop is when they run out of tortilla chips.

I don’t blame them, though.  No store-bought salsa can begin to compare with the absolutely delicious Texas Habanero salsa.  It kicks; it zings; it makes your taste buds sing!

And what are the words to the song your taste buds are singing?  Simple

Your taste buds are singing “MORE!  We want MORE!”

Seriously, that’s what they’re singing.  Honest.

What’s Cookin’ Wednesday: Texas Pepper Jelly Over Rice

Craig Sharry | February 25, 2009

This is one of those recipes that’s so simple, it doesn’t seem possible that it could be so delicious!

My son and his cousin were here the other night, and they got hungry.  They’re always hungry, but that’s another story!

Since both young men are crazy about Texas Pepper Jelly, they decided that Texas Pepper Jelly was exactly what they both wanted.  Unfortunately, because I am not the most domestic mom in the world, there were no crackers anywhere to be found in this house.

The boys were hungry for more than just crackers and pepper jelly, though.  They wanted a MEAL.

So they got down the brown rice and cooked some.  Then, they poured Pineapple Habanero pepper jelly over it, and chowed down.  They finished off the entire jar of pepper jelly!

That was it.  That was ALL.  They poured a jar of Texas Pepper Jelly on their brown rice and devoured it.  To make doubly sure it was a hit, I asked them what they thought of it.

“AWESOME!”  was the response I got.

We’re having it for supper tomorrow night.  I’m adding some chicken to the equation, but it’s still going to be one of the simplest meals ever.
