Hi Wildflowers!
I’m Kristen and I met Jenny at a blogging conference last year. I’m excited to share with you one of my family recipes. My husband, Winston, and I are fifth generation pecan farmers. Our family has been harvesting and selling pecans in Texas since 1888. You can check out our pecans here! They make wonderful holiday gifts and a perfect addition to the pantry. You’ll see how the incorporate perfectly into this canning recipe, too!
We make a Jalapeno Pecan Jelly with our fresh pecans that folks across the country adore. I love this jelly because it’s just the right amount of sweet and spicy. My favorite way to enjoy it is poured over a block of cream cheese and served with crackers. I always keep a jar on hand for a quick appetizer. After all, you never know when a company might stop by for a surprise visit!
