Hot Pepper Jelly Dip

Hot Pepper Jelly Dip

Now that our good friend Katie Sheehy has moved to the cold North,  (yes the same Katie
that gave you the Bourbon Glazed Salmon,) we wanted to give her a shout out to her
for her Hot Pepper Jelly.

May the warm memories of her friendship keep all of warm this winter.
Her hot pepper jelly recipe is warm enough to lift your spirits and keep us thinking of her.

A delightful dip with just enough zing as a "pick me up"

Here goes Katie:
