Santa, according to the poem, had a belly that shook like a bowlful of jelly when he laughed. Whenever I hear or read that, it’s not regular jelly that comes to my mind any more.
It’s Texas Pepper Jelly.
My family have gotten into the habit of using pepper jelly on something at almost every meal now. So, I’ve gotten into the habit of putting a bowlful of pepper jelly on the table for all three meals.
I’ve caught them all licking the spoon, too.
We put pepper jelly in coffee, sangria, tea, cocoa, and water. We freeze pepper jelly in ice cube trays and drop ‘em in lemonade and punch. We put pepper jelly on mashed potatoes, and toast, and biscuits. We use pepper jelly in baked beans, and salads of all kinds. We marinade chicken, and pork, and fish in pepper jelly. Pepper jelly has replaced butter on our table. My kids put pepper jelly on pancakes and waffles and French toast. My husband makes a peanut butter-and-pepper jelly sandwich when he gets home from school. We stir it into soup. We use it instead of salad dressing. We spread it on most sandwiches.
Really, I can’t think of a single pepper jelly “experiment” that flopped. The stuff is just so good.
About that sangria with pepper jelly. . . . I highly recommend that one. I mean, it’s fruit, right?
Be sure you set out a bowlful of pepper jelly on your holiday table. Santa’s watching you.
I had ONE jar of Texas Pepper Jelly left – Strawberry Habanero, one of my favorites. The only reason I still had it was because I HID IT from my husband and kids. Yes, I hid it. That’s the only way I can keep the good stuff from being devoured before its time. Oh hush – you do it, too.
We’re in the midst of some dangerous heat advisories, and few people around these parts want to fire up the oven or even the stove-top right now. Hot as it might be outside, it’s NEVER too hot to grill outdoors, and this weather is the perfect excuse – as if any of us needed an excuse – to thaw out some chicken and ribs and invite some people over for dinner.
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

We’re buried deep in January snow here, and the temperature is in the teens. My husband is getting ready to go to work, and I’m watching him as he pours his coffee and stirs in a spoonful of pepper jelly. . . .
I walked into the kitchen this morning and saw my husband at the table, stirring something into his coffee. My daughter was sitting there across from him, stirring something into her hot tea.
There’s nothing like a big punchbowl full of sparkling red sangria to give a holiday air to the room!
This is Texas Pepper Jelly’s newest product, Texas Rib Candy, and it’s so good it’s almost impossible to describe.
