Three-Pepper Jelly
"It was the end of the growing season and I had harvested all the chilis left in my garden. I had jalapeno, cayenne, banana and bell peppers and I decided to experiment a little. I was in for a big surprise. I gave some of my jelly to my niece and she entered it at the county fair and brought me a blue ribbon and a check. How cool is that ?"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I'm a 60 year old man living in south Arkansas with my wonderful wife. we've been married almost 35 years and we both love to cook. I became disabled and confined to a power chair in 1990 so I have a lot of time to try new recipes. In our church I'm famous for my melt in your mouth briskets. But nobody grills a porterhouse steak like my sweetie. We are looking for new recipes all the time. When I found RecipeZaar I new I had hit the jackpot. Our favorite restaurant is an all you can eat place called The Old Feed House; <br />Catfish, froglegs,ribs, etc with all the trimmings. Standing room only at times.</p>
