Cooking with Katherine: Jalapeños

 

Last updated 8/4/2011 at Noon

I wanted to share these two recipes with you.

The relish adds a little extra ump to your foods, for instance I love this relish on my black eyed peas or purple hull peas, cabbage or hot dogs and much more.

It is really quite easy.

Just throw it all in a food processor and blend it up.

You do not have to take the seeds out of the peppers.

That can surely take your breath away.

If you do not want it so hot add 20 peppers instead of 36, it will still taste great.

The jelly is so wonderful too.

It’s great on top of cream cheese alone.

I always have some on hand for my cooking classes.

For those unexpected guest that come you will always be ready too, just add crackers and cream cheese and of course lots of Love.

Happy eating!
