Fortunately, it’s not the 17th yet, and there is still time to choose your Texas Pepper Jelly gift and have it sent to your friends and family members!
There are so many ways to use Texas Pepper Jelly, but may I remind y’all that one of the simplest of all recipes is also the tastiest and most useful to know when company comes or your family just wants a delicious snack.
Just pour a jar of any kind of Texas Pepper Jelly over a brick of cream cheese, and set out some crackers.

December 17th: Last Day to Order Before Christmas!
Written by Jane Goodwin on December 14, 2009 – 12:05 am -
Listen up! You’ve got four more days to order, if you want to receive your gift items before Christmas! Yes, Thursday of this week is the last day.
Don’t get me wrong: you can order from Texas Pepper Jelly ANY TIME, but if you want to receive your order before Christmas, you’ll have to get busy and do your ordering within the next few days.
That’s December 17th! After that, we can’t guarantee that your order will arrive in time for Christmas.
Here is the big boss Craig Sharry himself, with some information about the Texas Pepper Jelly newsletter, holiday deliveries, and gift pack selection:
Our newsletter signup is quick and easy. And it’s FREE! Do your friends and family a favor, pass this newsletter along so they can sign up today. Did I mention it’s FREE ?
I hate the to be the one to break the bad news, but somebody has to be the bad guy. December 17 is the deadline for Texas Pepper Jelly to be able to ship your orders in time for Christmas. I know, I know, you have so much shopping left to do. It hardly seems fair, but in order for us to package your orders with all of our wonderful products then get them to USPS so that they can be delivered on time for Christmas means we have to have a deadline. Oh and don’t forget. Select USPS Priority. This time of year shipping Parcel Post can delay the timely arrival of your packages. So order now and ship USPS Priority. Then you can rest easy knowing your gift will arrive in time.Also remember that Texas Pepper Jelly is the place to do all of your Christmas shopping. With a great selection of jellies to choose from how can you go wrong. You can order individual flavors or save money and order a complete case. Maybe you want something more than just a jar of jelly to give as a gift. That is real easy just go to our Gift Pack page and choose from several collectible tins or our very popular sampler basket. What we do different is let you choose the flavors for your gift pack. WOW! Most places just want to sell you what they want you to have. We want to sell you what you want and that makes Texas P epper Jelly your one stop online for all of your Christmas shopping.
A great thing about Texas Pepper Jelly is that it is quick and easy to use.. Another thing that is quick and easy is our newsletter sign up. Tell your friends about it. Tell them it’s free. Then they can get their own copy every month. Plus, anyone who subscribes today, will immediately be sent a free sample of our Country Sweet Texas Heat cookbook. These exclusive recipes will have your friends and family wanting you to cook all of their meals.
Be sure to watch for next month’s newsletter. There is a good chance we will be introducing another new product. I hate to talk about it too much so be sure to watch for your copy next month.
As always thank you for shopping at Texas Pepper Jelly.
Until next time,
Craig Sharry

Texas Pepper Jelly Unique Christmas Gift Ideas
Written by Jane Goodwin on December 9, 2009 – 12:05 am -
Texas Pepper Jelly samplers are not like samplers from any other company. Other companies offer you a done deal: a tin filled with THEIR choice of flavors. At Texas Pepper Jelly, you can order any of several different kinds of tins and we let YOU choose the flavors!
That’s right: YOU choose whatever flavor of pepper jelly YOU want in YOUR tin. Choose one of each, or choose all the same, or choose any combinations YOU want!
We have several different sizes and types of sampler tins; you can choose that, too.
Our pepper jellies are made fresh when we get your order, so each sampler tin will contain the very freshest products you could ever hope to find.
It’s time to get your orders in, however. Take a look at the calendar; Christmas is almost here! There’s stlil time to order from Texas Pepper Jelly, though.
Why give an ordinary gift when you can give a truly unique gift from Texas Pepper Jelly?

Unique Texas Christmas Gift Ideas: Pepper Jelly of the Month
Written by Jane Goodwin on December 4, 2009 – 1:39 am -
The Texas Pepper Jelly gift item “Jelly of the Month” is truly the gift that keeps on giving! For a full year, the lucky recipient of this gift will get, via the mail, a new batch of pepper jelly every three months!
That’s right – every three months your gift recipient will get three 12-ounce jars of Texas Pepper Jelly, by far the best pepper jelly on the market today, anywhere.
That’s a total of twelve big 12-ounce jars of pepper jelly, folks, each jar a different flavor!
Along next summer, when most Christmas gifts are long used up or forgotten, your gift recipient will still be getting a fresh batch of Texas Pepper Jelly in the mail!
This is an excellent gift idea for individuals AND for businesses; talk about keeping your name fresh in a friend or client’s mind!

Monday Munchies: Pepper Jelly Candy
Written by Jane Goodwin on November 30, 2009 – 1:19 am -
It’s official: holiday time is here. People are making all kinds of special foods that are homemade only during this time of year!
I like to make candy – all kinds of candy. One of those kinds is pepper jelly candy.
It’s easy, but if you’re being “helped” by small children, keep them away from the hot mixture! Be sure, too, that your small children understand that pepper jelly candy isn’t as sweet as regular candy.
Ingredients:
12 tablespoons white sugar; keep the tablespoon handy!
1/3 cup fruit juice – anything except orange, because that’s another ingredient
1/3 cup pepper jelly – any flavor
2/3 cup orange juice
8 tablespoons corn syrup; keep another tablespoon handy! (not the same one)
8 tablespoons gelatin, unflavored, and use still another tablespoon
(all of those tablespoons will be used several times, so don’t try to use just one for everything!)
Food coloring, if you think you need it, but you probably won’t unless you want really vivid candy.
What to do:
This can be a little complicated, so be sure you read through before you start. 
Spray an 8 x 8 pan with water – NOT oil!
Put 4 tablespoons of the gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water to soften for about five minutes.
Put the fruit juice, 6 tablespoons of the sugar, and 4 tablespoons of the corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Don’t step away from the pan.
This is the time for the food coloring if you want it.
Pour this mixture into the water-sprayed pan and let it set, about an hour in the refrigerator.
Do this again with the orange juice, 6 tablespoons of sugar, and 4 tablespoons of corn syrup, simmering until the sugar dissolves. Again, don’t leave the pan unattended.
Stir in the gelatin until it dissolves. Let this mixture cool, in the pan, for about ten minutes.
Remove first pan from ‘fridge. Pour second mixture over first mixture and put it back in the refrigerator for another hour.
Once your pan’s contents have set, remove it from the ‘fridge and cut it into any shapes you desire; my kids like worms. You can also use your holiday cookie cutters; there are always volunteers to eat up the scraps.
This is a very pretty, two-layered, two-colored candy. It’s soft and easy to eat, but if you plan to let your toddlers try it, be prepared: remember, it’s made with pepper jelly, and will have a bit of a “bite” to it.
It’s absolutely delicious. Very UN-typical flavor, and my family is crazy about it.
This very different candy makes a fantastic gift, too. Keep that in mind!
