Texas Tip: Rib Candy!

Written by Jane Goodwin on June 23, 2010 – 12:05 am -

texaspepperjellytips Texas Pepper Jelly is proud to announce a new product, and it’s so awesomely good I’m going to let the big boss himself, Craig Sharry, tell you about it:

Hello Texas Pepper Jelly fans.  I hope this newsletter finds everyone happy and doing well.  Charlynn and I are doing fine and looking forward to a busy summer.

After months of testing I am happy to announce our newest Texas Pepper Jelly product.  Now available:  Texas Rib Candy. This new product is fantastic. It is the easiest thing I have used on ribs in a long time.  Not only is it easy, it is a winner as well.  Every time I have used it during competition I have placed, and that, my friends, is what it is all about.    I love it, judges love it and I know you will love it as well.  It as easy to use as opening the bottle and pouring. It really is that simple.

Our initial plan was to create a product that was not just good on ribs, but a product that was “great” on ribs.  Well we did that.  This product makes any kind of rib a winner.  You can use it on spare ribs, baby backs or country style.  All you need to do is pour it on the rib the last 15 minutes of cooking time.  If you want a more robust flavor add it your ribs when you wrap them in foil.  Then add again the last 15 minutes, and  then sit back and watch those ribs disappear.  Your friends and family will think you slaved hours to make something this good.

The best thing is,  our plan provided a bonus we never thought about.  Texas Rib Candy is great on everything.  This stuff makes chicken rock.  Pork Butt just loves it.  And don’t forget to try it on ice cream.  The best part is you can just open and pour.  Honestly, that’s about as easy as it gets.

So here’s the deal.  July 4th is just around the corner.  Order your Texas Rib Candy today and be the hit of the summer BBQ party.  Amaze your friends.  Impress your family.  Be the hit on your block with your bbq ribs. But you must order now to ensure delivery before the holiday.

Order Now!

As always, it has been a pleasure to serve you our customers.  I hope you enjoy our newsletter and if you have not tried our product, what are you waiting for?  Trust me, you’re going to love it!

Until next time,

Craig Sharry

PS … I almost forgot.  Texas Rib Candy also comes in three fantastic flavors.  Apple Habanero, Apple Cherry Habanero and Mango Habanero.  Be sure to try one of each!

(by the way:  if you subscribe to the Texas Pepper Jelly newsletter, you’ll notice that Craig has divulged his secret, award-winning rib recipe for you.  Craig wins big time every year with his rib recipes, so if you sign up for the newsletter and use that recipe, your family and guests will never stop talking about how good your ribs were.  Ever.)

The Perfect Bread Knife: Messermeister’s Kullenschliff Slicer

Written by Jane Goodwin on June 8, 2010 – 7:10 am -

messermeistericonTexas Pepper Jelly is awesome on sandwiches and toast, but sandwiches and toast require bread.  My family loves homemade bread, so I learned to make it.

I don’t use a bread machine, no, no, no.  I make genuine homemade bread.  I figure, if my fingernails aren’t spotlessly clean after I’m finished kneading that dough by hand, I’m not really finished kneading.  :)

Once you remove your bread from the oven, however, it has to be sliced before you can really start slathering the pepper jelly on it.  I’ve experimented with a lot of knives in my day – I’m kind of oldish so I’ve had a lot of days – and the knife I like best is the Messermeister 10-inch Kullenschliff slicer.

5019-10K

It’s a beautiful knife, all-round. Sharp as a razor. Easy to handle, too.

With some knives, cutting homemade bread is a big deal, and the slices are seldom smooth. The Messermeister Kullenschliff slicer, however, will give you a lovely clean slice every single time.

Remember, too, bread-bakers, that you really must let your bread cool completely before you try to slice it.

And now that your bread is sliced – thanks to your awesome Messermeister Kullenschliff slicer – you can start spreading that mouth-watering delicious Texas Pepper Jelly on it.

Mmmm, pepper jelly.

P.S.  It’s June: the wedding month.  Why not give the newlyweds some Messermeister cutlery?  It lasts practically forever, and everyone needs good kitchen knives.

A Message from Texas Pepper Jelly’s CEO

Written by Jane Goodwin on April 13, 2010 – 11:51 pm -

If you haven’t already signed up to receive Texas Pepper Jelly’s newsletter, I strongly advise you to do so.  You’ll get not only advice, information, and recipes; you’ll also get discount codes and freebies!

Here’s the newest newsletter, straight from the pen of Texas Pepper Jelly’s CEO, Craig Sharry:

Stop.  Before you read this newsletter, take a minute and send this to 10 of your friends or family members.  They will be glad that you did. You will be glad that you did.  Everyone will be happy. (Seriously, do as he says!!!)

Hello Texas Pepper Jelly fans.  I hope this newsletter finds everyone happy and doing well.  Charlynn and I are doing fine and looking forward to a busy summer.   Recently I had a few free minutes and was flipping the TV channels when I saw something that got my attention. It was one of those food channel shows where they talk all about new products and such.  This particular show was talking about the “new” rage of sweet and spice mixed together.  So I decided to give it a shot to see what all the fuss was about.   The truth is other than maybe some new products the “new rage” is nothing new.  Heck all they had to do was ask any of our customers and they could have found out sweet and heat has been around awhile.  Here at Texas Pepper Jelly we have been working on the sweet heat concept for about 5 years.  So whats all the fuss about?   I can tell you this it was interesting to see some of the new products on the market such as spicy cookies and ice cream with hot pepper flavoring inside, but if anyone has been listening we have been talking about this kind of stuff for years.  I can remember when we first started that one of our customers ordered a lot of Apple Jalapeno.  I finally asked them where is all that Apple Jalapeno going?  The answer was simple.  Their 6 year old granddaughter was putting it on ice cream.  Now if a 6 year old knows our product is good every body should be giving it a try.

Over the years we have heard of a lot of uses for our jellies.  Let me give you just a few examples.  It has been used on cookies, ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, biscuits, sandwiches, peanut butter, chocolate, chili, ribs, chicken, cake, pretzels, chips, cream cheese, egg rolls, chicken nuggets, iced drinks, lasagna, pot roast, soups, spam, pasta salad, sausage, pizza rolls, cheese sticks, and many, many more items.  It sounds like to me you are only limited by your imagination.  So if you are a regular customer you already know what others do not.  If you have never tried our product what are you waiting for?

Order Now!

I know you’re probably curious about now but it really is the most amazing product you can purchase for adding zest and flavor to your food.  And here at Texas Pepper Jelly we have made it even easier for you to find recipes to use our products.  It’s as easy as going to our blog and looking at all the recipes that have been posted just over the last few months.  We have some pretty amazing recipes that are both quick and easy to make.  So take a minute and check it out.  It’s as easy as clicking Texas Pepper Jelly Blog.

Order Now!

Every newsletter I try to give you a recipe that is tasty and easy to make.  This month is no exception.  Try the recipe below and impress all of your friends.      Summer time is here and nothing tastes better in the summer than a refreshing cool side dish.  This month’s recipe is our Texas Slaw.  Try this one.  It’s quick, easy and affordable.   Ingredients:

  • 1 head cabbage
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly
  • 1 tsp salt

What to do:

Shred the vegetables (tip: It’s easier if they are cold.  Not frozen, just cold.)

In a large bowl, mix the shredded veggies with all the other ingredients.  Toss lightly but thoroughly.
Refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving.   Do not plan on having any leftovers!

Order Now!

I told you that you would love it.  After all everyone  loves a cool refreshing side dish in the hot summer time. One of  the many great things about Texas Pepper Jelly is just how many different ways you can use it. Another thing that you will love is our newsletter.  Tell your friends about it.  Tell them it’s free.  Then they can get their own copy every month.

Get Messermeister Cutlery From Texas Pepper Jelly!

Written by Jane Goodwin on January 12, 2010 – 11:15 pm -

messermeistericon

Texas Pepper Jelly is proud to offer our distinguished customers the Messermeister product line. Messermeister produces quality knives, scissors and accessories for the serious chef or back yard bbq cooker. Browse all of their products and find that special item you have been looking for.

San Moritz Meridian Elite Park Plaza

Four Seasons Scissors Misc Cutlery

Messermeister is a true innovator of premier German cutlery. The company has been responsible for numerous category firsts, such as a professional Chef’s camber for precise rocking action and the bolster-less heel of the forged Chef’s blade so that allows the complete cutting edge to be re-sharpened. These innovations greatly improve both function and safety.

Messermeister is the first and only cutlery brand to offer the exclusive elite edge, the sharpest edge of all forged cutlery. This high-performance edge of high-carbon molybdenum/vanadium steel makes it distinctively easier to slice, dice, and cut food as the result of a special three-step sharpening and hand polishing process. The elite edge also improves safety because it requires less effort and force to accomplish the task.

Messermeister was founded over a century ago in Solingen Germany by August Klinkerman, but our products were not available in the U.S. until Klinkerman’s great grandson, Bernd Dressler, established The Messermeister headquarters in California in 1984. Today, the company remains under the leadership of the Dressler Family, who continues to maintain the tradition of unmatched quality, product innovation and customer service.

Production of Messermeister cutlery is still focused in Solingen, Germany, which is the forged cutlery capital of the world and birthplace of Messermeister. Several years ago, Messermeister established a strong franchise with professional chefs and cooking schools, and in recent years, while maintaining a commitment to the institutional market, has begun building its consumer business through fine specialty retailers and catalogs.

Messermeister offers high-end cutlery in the Meridian elite, San Moritz elite, Park Plaza, Four Seasons, and Asian Precision lines. While marketing knife luggage, edge guards and other cutlery accessories.

“Messer”, meaning knife, and “meister”, meaning maestro or master, combine to create the company’s name; a company striving with full commitment and desire to provide the highest quality cutlery and complementary culinary tools for the home and professional chef.

Texas Pepper Jelly Appetizer: Simple and Awesome!

Written by Jane Goodwin on January 4, 2010 – 2:06 am -

DSCF3101We had guests for dinner on New Year’s Day, and here is the cracker/dip tray I set out.

Remember, often the most delicious things are also the simplest things.  That dip in the middle of the tray is just cream cheese and Texas Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly.

It was a hit, too.

Here’s proof:  My best friend Janice had never tasted pepper jelly before, and she ended up eating most of it and taking the rest home with her!  I also sent a Texas Pepper Jelly sampler tin home with her, to “hold” her until her Texas Pepper Jelly order is delivered to her house.

DSCF3102Janice is awesome, and she pronounced the Texas Pineapple Habanero pepper jelly awesome as well.

She’s right.  It is.

I can’t keep it in the house; it mysteriously disappears as quickly as it’s taken out of the cardboard box it was delivered in.

Already I need to order some more.

December 17th: Last Day to Order Before Christmas!

Written by Jane Goodwin on December 14, 2009 – 12:05 am -

TexasChristmasListen 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
