Jelly is great for adding flavor to breakfast foods, sweets and meat dishes.  Our jelly makes a wonderful glaze on pork, lamb, turkey, beef and game.   My families favorite is over a block of cream cheese or warm brie.  Our new favorite has become the following Spinach Salad dressing made with our Jalapeno Pepper Jelly.  A must try for Spinach Salad lovers!

Luscombe Farm Jalapeno Chicken

Melted jellies make terrific sauces for meats.  The spice in the jalapeno is reduced a bit by processing with the sugar.

Serve the chicken whole, or slice it and serve in a warm tortilla topped with black beans and shredded cheese.

Ingredients:

1 (9 oz) jar jalapeno jelly

 3 tablespoons pineapple juice

1 (1-pound) package skinless, boneless chicken breasts

¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper

¼ cup sour cream

Parsley sprigs (optional garnish)


Directions:

Combine the jelly and pineapple juice in a small saucepan.  Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted and thoroughly heated.

Sprinkle chicken with pepper.  Coat a large skillet with cooking oil spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and sauté 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until cooked through. Spoon sauce onto individual plates.  Top with chicken. Dollop with sour cream and garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired. Makes 4 servings.

Savory Cheesecake with 
Luscombe Farm Jalapeno Peach

 

 

 

 

        Note:  This cheesecake can be made in a very small spring form pan about 4 – 6 inches or it can be made in a 12-cup muffin pan.

 

Ingredients:

1 cup saltines, crushed

2 T butter

12 oz softened cream cheese (I use half ricotta and half cream cheese)

3 small cloves garlic, crushed

1 egg plus 1 yolk

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

½ cup of Luscombe Farm Jalapeno Jelly

 
      Preheat oven to 325

  1. Spray spring form or muffin tin with non stick baking spray and line bottom of either spring form or muffin pan with rounds of non-stick baking paper for ease of removal later.
  2. Crush the saltines with the butter in a processor until fine and spoon a little into the bottom of the baking pan pressing evenly.
  3. Wipe out the processor bowl and put in the cream cheese, crushed garlic and egg plus yolk.  Pulse until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the lemon juice and pepper jelly and pulse again to fully incorporate.
  5. Pile the cheese mixture into the prepared pan(s)
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes for the muffins or 30 + minutes for the spring form.  When the cheesecake is slightly raised and looks set – remove and allow to cool.

Serve with a garnish of pepper jelly on top.  I sometimes heat the jelly briefly

in the microwave to liquefy then pour over cheesecake.  Very good!

 

May be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen up to 6 months.

We Be Jammin' Dip


1 cup chopped pecans  

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 cup finely grated cheddar cheese (I’ve used different cheeses in this; the mixed shredded cheese packages at the supermarket work great)

½ cup chopped green onions

1 jar of Luscombe Farm Jelly 

Mix all ingredients except the jam together.

 

Cover the bottom and sides of a shallow bowl or mold with plastic wrap.

 

Pack the mixture into the bowl/mold and refrigerate overnight (can be made a couple of days ahead).

 

When ready to serve, turn mold upside down over onto a serving plate. Remove plastic wrap.

 

Cover mixture with your favorite jelly, jam, or chutney.

 

Spread on crackers.

 

I usually double this recipe, because people just love this stuff and it keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days, in case any is left over.
