Cranberry Jalapeno Jelly on homemade Cranberry Banana Nut Bread for breakfast. Sure, why not! Why save it just for cream cheese and crackers?
Actually, that version was made with Serranos, and had a nice amount of heat. (for a beginner such as myself)

... and here's the recipe that I use. I use 100% cranberry juice, not the juice drink, which has sugar in it.

I like the flavor (and color) of the jelly better if I use red jalapenos, rather than green. For most heat lovers, this jelly will be too mild. This year, I used serranos, or a blend of jalapenos and serranos to increase the heat. Ended up with some batches that were mild, some medium, and some towards the hot side, which was perfect when it came to gift giving this year.
