Pepper jelly has it all — it’s sweet, tangy and spicy. I usually put it on cream cheese or goat cheese and serve it with crackers, but I also love adding it to baked beans for an added zip.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until the fat is rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve. Add the onion and bell pepper to the pan and cook until translucent, adding the garlic in the last minute of cooking, about 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Add the beans, red pepper jelly, chicken broth, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper and reserved bacon. Stir well until combined. Bring to a simmer. Cover and bake for 40 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and serve.
