Well, I was supposed to look at cheeses in a cheese shop but instead distracted by these colorful bottled jellies at Marin Cheese Factory in Petaluma, CA. These assorted pepper jellies sound hot, sweet, spicy, fruity, peppery and savory.
I'm new to jellies. Are jellies the same as jam?
Mango/Plum Ginger Pepper Jelly and Raspberry-Jalapeño Pepper Jelly
Apricot-Jalapeño Pepper Jelly and Sweet Onion Jalapeño Pepper Jelly
Cranberry Pepper Jelly, Habanero Pepper Jelly
Jalapeño Pepper Jelly and Marioberry Pepper Jelly
I was so fascinated and confused by all the varieties and finally, decided not to buy any and ended up with a small block of cheese instead.The cheese tasting station at the cheese shop even had some cranberry pepper jelly slathered on top of of Brie. I tried them on crackers, and the savory Brie really gel well with the subtly sweet-tangy- peppery cranberry pepper jelly. What a colorful treat!

I wish for some! So lovely.... christmas just around the corner.... I better put up my giant stocking early this year....lol...
ReplyDeleteThose jellies sound really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe first and only time I had pepper jelly was at a wedding reception in college. It was served over a block of Philly cream cheese and crackers. And it was delicious.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I wish I could get some pepper jelly now.
Pepper Jelly on Chicken Breasts with goat cheese is where it is at. Bake(roast) Chicken breasts with the goat cheese and jelly on top at 350F for 27-30 minutes. You can switch up the jelly to anything you want (blackberry works really well). No sugar added is recommended
ReplyDeletei actually read somewhere that of you pick any cheese and any jam/jelly..they go together very well.
ReplyDeleteespecially if u make it the way you make a grilled cheese sandwich.

This reminds me of when I went to the mustard museum in Wisconsin. They had champagne mustard, chocolate mustard, beer mustard. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I love how you didn't wind up buying any! Sounds like something I would do. Pepper jelly on brie sounds amazing and those jars are really gorgeous!
ReplyDeletebig boys oven, santa claus may decide to present himself to you if your stocking is too big...hahah!
ReplyDeletekevin, it's a first for me.
ming, funny...it seems that jellies are always paired off with cheese
anonymous, wooo...sounds so good and makes me yearn for xmas....
anonymous, is that true? I have marmalade and cheese in my fridge right now!
wandering choppy, chocolate mustard!!!????? WHY SPOIL CHOCOLATE?? Aha, that's because I don't really like mustard! :O
hillary, either I buy all(coz I didn't know which to choose) or I don't buy anything...
No wonder you got distracted, I would be too! So cute and colorful those little bottles!
ReplyDeleteI love pepper jellies. Try some on crab cakes.
ReplyDeleteI think jams have more of the actual fruit solids in them.
