Sweet Red Pepper Jelly

A Southern tradition with universal appeal, our Sweet Red Pepper Jelly is the ultimate crowd-pleaser that belongs on every appetizer table and in every well-stocked pantry. This jewel-bright jelly balances the natural sweetness of red bell peppers with just enough sugar to create a preserve that's beautifully sweet with a subtle peppery undertone and gentle savory notes. The gorgeous ruby-red color makes it as visually stunning as it is delicious, while the smooth, spreadable texture ensures it glides effortlessly over crackers, melts beautifully when warmed, and adds elegant shine when used as a glaze. This is the gateway jelly that converts pepper jelly skeptics into lifelong devotees with just one bite.

Culinary Uses & Pairings:

The classic—and for good reason—is pouring this jelly over a block of cream cheese and serving with buttery crackers for an appetizer that disappears in minutes at every gathering. It's equally divine with goat cheese, brie, sharp cheddar, or pepper jack on any cheese board. Spread it on turkey, ham, or roast beef sandwiches for sweet-savory perfection, or use as a glaze for holiday ham, pork tenderloin, or roasted chicken during the final minutes of cooking. It makes an exceptional condiment for biscuits with country ham, or spread on cornbread for a Southern-style treat. Use as a dipping sauce for chicken tenders, egg rolls, or coconut shrimp for sweet contrast. Mix with a little Dijon mustard for an incredible sandwich spread, or warm gently and brush onto grilled salmon or shrimp. Stir into cream cheese for a party dip, spread on crostini topped with prosciutto, or use as a glaze for meatballs. It's also wonderful stirred into coleslaw for unexpected sweetness, or served alongside fried catfish or chicken for a touch of Southern hospitality. Keep a jar handy—you'll reach for it constantly.
