What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Timeless Classics: Pastime Pepper Jelly Appetizer! Someone once told me, I was the “Queen of Appetizers”. It may be the result of often serving hors d’oeuvres and finger food at festive parties and impromptu gatherings. Or perhaps, simply because it makes a light meal. Recently, though, my husband opened a bottle of dry red wine and we had a quiet dinner for two from this recipe alone. It may have been the ancient evening, the distant music, the cozy conversation, or the cherished companionship, but add it all together for the perfect pastime.
PASTIME PEPPER JELLY APPETIZER
Ingredients:
8 ounce block Neufchâtel cheese, softened
6 ounce sleeve sesame crackers
8 ounce jar Jalapeño Confetti Jelly*
Fresh mint (optional)
Instructions:
Chop fresh mint. Spread a teaspoon of Neufchâtel cheese on a sesame cracker. Beginning with a half a teaspoon to taste, place a dollop of Jalapeño Confetti Jelly on top. Garnish with fresh mint. Serve with a nonalcoholic sparkling blood orange beverage or a glass of red wine.
*Jalapeño or habanero jellies are recommended. You may follow the link to make your own Jalapeño Confetti Jelly @ https://snapshotsincursive.com/2016/09/29

I like this – not sure why I never used my pepper jelly this way. Try it on a toasted bagel, cream cheese – then the jelly for breakfast. A favorite with the men in my family and I know this appetizer would be too!
