There’s nothing that feeds a romance like a good meal, no matter what the greeting cards, sitcoms, and movies might try to tell us. People associate Valentine’s Day with a hot time (ahem) and it might as well start with dinner.

There are so many wonderful recipes using Texas Pepper Jelly or Texas Rib Candy; we feature recipes right here, most days, and the Texas Pepper Jelly eCookbook is the best source for such recipes and awesome meals that I’ve ever seen. (Scroll down, after you click, to find the cookbook.) Scroll slowly, though, because you’ll be seeing all of our pepper jelly flavors on the way to the bottom of the page, and they’re so yummy good that even their pictures and descriptions will take your breath away.

Ah, a Valentine dinner. . . . hot stuff, indeed.

Don’t tell Tim, but we’re having pork ribs, cooked in the crockpot and smothered with onions and Rib Candy, for our Valentine dinner.

We actually have that quite a lot – it’s one of our alltime favorite meals now – but anything made with Texas Rib Candy is good enough for a holiday feast!
