Mix with equal part apricot jam and use as a glaze on chicken or pork chops.
OR, serve with warm corn bread and honey.
But my fave is a classic brick of cream cheese slathered with pepper jelly and served with Triscuits.
I have a jar of habanero jelly, which I suspect tastes hotter than jalapeno. I've used it on sandwiches and biscuits. But I bet it'd be good in some vegetable fritters or savory muffins.
Poach your corned beef as usual. Remove at the appropriate time and drain. Reserve about 1 1/2 cup of the juices. Cut off most of the visible fat. Place your corned beef in a roasting pan, slather with the jelly. Add the reserved liquid. Place in a 325 oven until glazed and heated through. Baste if desired. Pretty yummy, and timely!
I make corn muffins, partially fill the muffin tin with batter, then put in a dollop of jalapeño jelly and top with more batter. Bake, they are really good.
Mix it into your favorite homemade or store bought bbq sauce, and baste it over grilled chicken, chops, or sausage. Sticky, sweet and a little heat... great combo as the weather warms up.
If you don't want to just dab it on top of cream cheese and a cracker, you can make a savory cheese tart, maybe with fresh goat cheese and top that with the jelly
