A friend gave me a small jar of pepper jelly that she made. I have no idea what to use it for. Suggestions? I don’t think it goes on toast with butter haha

I have a couple of ideas for you:Pepper thumb print cookies!Dollop over pizza (either before or after cooking)Use it when candying bacon for a salty, sweet and spicy momentHonestly you could use it anywhere you'd use other fruit preserves in a recipe as a way to spice things up.Hope this helps!- Justin from the Hotline team

Learned how to make pepper jelly from a Georgia relative. She used to serve it with cream cheese on sandwiches or canapés.

I suggest you ask her for recommendations. For sure she has some inkling of its uses if she spent her time making it.

Personally I would also taste it and imagine what sort of foods I consume that it might accompany. Without having tasted it I would guess that pork might work well.

Best of luck.
