Serving Suggestions:

• One of this week’s extras will be hot peppers. If you don’t typically grab them when they are available, snag a few this week and try this recipe: Candied Jalapenos. My aunt makes a huge batch of these candied jalapenos annually and cans them to give out to family. They are a hit any time I serve them! My favorite is alongside a top-your-own chili bar where I have toppings like sour cream, scallions, shredded cheese, Fritos and these jalapenos lined up for people to customize their bowl. They are also tasty baked into cornbread, on top of a hot dog, atop nachos, or anything else you can think of. One thing she adds to give them a little extra kick: a finely sliced habanero.
