Let Us Be Your Secret


Tortilla Wraps
A marvelous hors d'ouevre.  Use medium or large flour tortillas.  Spread with softened cream cheese, add a slice of smoked turkey or ham leaving 2" of cream cheese exposed on one side.  Spread meat with Hot Pepper Jelly (spicy or extra spicy) or Incredible Cranberries (regular or mildly spicy).  Roll up from the meat side so cream cheese edge makes a seal.  Seal rolls in plastic wrap and put in refrigerator for several hours or up to a day.  Slice in 3/4" rounds & serve - YUM!


Chicken Delight

Skin 4 to 6 chicken breasts.  Place them side by side in a baking dish.  Sprinkle with a package of dried onion soup.  Spoon over the top one jar of Incredible Cranberries (regular or mildly spicy) or Razz'l Cran Jam (regular or spicy).  Add a splash of dry white wine.  Cover tightly with foil.  Bake 350 for about one hour.  When done you may wish to slightly thicken the sauce.  Serve chicken with this delectable sauce spooned over the top.  Good served with rice!


Pepper-Pepper-Pepper Chicken

In a large skillet cook covered 4 to 6 chicken breasts, skin side up, with 1/3 to 1/2 cup water until almost done.  Cook over very low heat so juices accumulate.  Remove skin, turn chicken over until done.  Remove chicken from skillet.  Into small amount of juice left in skillet, add 1/4 large red onion in 1/4" slices; 1/3 each yellow, red and green bell pepper also in 1/4" thick, but long slices; 12 black olives cut in half with 3 T. olive juice.  Sauté until slightly crisp and add 1/3 cup vermouth.  Stir.  Add 3 T. Hot Pepper Jelly (spicy or extra spicy) and stir until melted.  Remove bones from chicken and add in large pieces stirring to coat.  This is not only delicious but also a beautiful dish.  Serve with rice or couscous.

Mamie's House Beef Brisket
Place a 3 to 4 lb. brisket on sheet of foil.  Salt and pepper to taste and slice onion over top.  Cover with jar of Hot Pepper Jelly, Incredible Cranberries, or Razz'l Cran Jam (you can use either variety of each).  Seal well, place in baking dish and bake for about 3 hours at 350.


Hot Pepper Jelly Marinade and Baste

Sauté 1 or 2 cloves of minced garlic (or to taste) in a little olive oil.  Add 1/4 cup of dry white wine or vermouth, 1/3 cup Dijon mustard, 1 T. Worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 cup (or more to taste) Hot Pepper Jelly (spicy or extra spicy).  Stir till liquid, add more wine if needed.  Use as marinade and as a final baste for meaty fish fillets (such as tuna, salmon, bass and trout) cooked on your grill.  Remember NOT to overcook fish!


Roast Turkey, Incredible Cranberry Style

Before stuffing, generously coat cavity of turkey with Incredible Cranberries (may take whole jar).  Then stuff and roast as usual.  Juices, and gravy made from them, will have a wonderful unique flavor.  Serve a side dish of Incredible Cranberries (regular or mildly spicy) along with, or instead of, cranberry sauce with your turkey dinner.
