Off the Rail Jalapeno Jellies

07/08/2021

It has been a while since we have posted and it was because we really didn’t know what the future looked like and that was before Covid.

A couple years ago Louis started having arthritis symptoms in his hands and his full time job where he uses his hands constantly was making his every day difficult. We decided to take a break and then Covid happened. We thought, “well, we picked a good time to re-examine the future and regroup”. In October we lost Louis’ stepdad who we loved dearly, and his mom is on her own for the first time in thirty years. Louis loves his mama and we aren’t getting any younger so right now our focus is on Louis’ health and family.

We have really enjoyed making jelly for everyone. We loved our time at the Fayetteville Farmer’s Market and the different festivals around town. Jelly has been so rewarding. The kids helped through high school and it truly became a family project. I remember hand cutting the labels for the jars and tying twine for hours when we first started. I was so excited when I finally convinced Louis to print sticky labels and then just stick them on the jar!

The best part was all the people we met. We enjoyed each and every person that stopped by. Louis is a quiet and reserved kind of guy, but the market brought him out of his shell and he really had a good time talking to everyone. He was so proud of the jelly and the BBQ. It was a lot of work but it was worth it. Life is just taking us a different direction right now.

Thanks to everyone for the support over the years!

Fried Chèvre with a pretzel coating goes great with Jalapeño jelly! We used Blueberry Habanero and Cherry Lime Jalapeño. Also for dinner, grilled salmon with mango avocado salsa.

We love to see how our jelly is used! We also like hearing your recipes! Louis said this summer someone used our Spicy Frog to make deviled eggs. That was a first! How do you use it?

Jennifer, I stole your picture! Looks so pretty!

My wife made me and the guys at work a cake using Cherry Habanero Jam and cranberries. It has an orange zest buttercream icing. I had to get me a slice to try it out!
