Last
week, I had one of my college friends over for dinner. She’s a vegetarian, and
as a meat lover, sometimes it’s hard for me to create an entire menu without
any red meat, chicken or fish, so often we’ll enjoy some wine and cheese. I
went with some of my favorite go-to cheeses including goat and brie. This time,
I also incorporated a jar of Suan’s Scotch Bonnet Pepper Jelly into the mix and
we both loved it.
The
jelly itself is the perfect consistency while remaining both smooth and firm.
It was the perfect blend of sweetness with a punch of spice for a very slight
aftertaste. It mixed well with the cheese, particularly the brie, and really
brought the dinner to a new level, bringing some spice to the bland crackers I
accidently picked out.
That
weekend, I was running low on groceries, but had some eggs, bacon, asparagus
and cheddar on hand. I mixed the bacon, asparagus and cheddar together in a French
omelet and spread the Scotch Bonnet Pepper Jelly on top of it. It made for a
delicious and semi-nutritious breakfast and my day was off to a good start.
Suan’s Foods
has a number of recipes on their website. I can’t wait to try another!
