I developed this recipe when I was low on funds one Holiday Season and needed an inexpensive gift for family and friends. I now make several batches every years at several peoples request. It has become a huge hit at bake sales as well. Don't be afraid of the fact that it has habanero peppers in the recipe. The heat is very subtle and just adds to the flavor of the jam. It's also great spread over a block of cream cheese served with crackers for an easy appetizer for parties. Try it instead of sugar in your baked bean recipe and you will not be disappinted.

I came up with this recipe for my Husband's boss who can not get enough "heat" or garlic in his food. He still requests this dish often, according to this wife. Warning: I would not recommend this recipe for a first date or a romantic evening. You will love it if you love garlic and very spicy food. It's also very good on french bread for a spicy garlic bread alternative.

I have many favorite chicken salad recipes, but my family and friends love spicy food. That's when this salad fits the bill. Serve it as a side dish at BBQs or as an entree on a busy night after work.

Growing up, my mexican grandmother, always had a pot of beans cooking on the stove. I often cook these beans (a "drunken" version) for my family and the aroma keeps her close to my soul, even years after she has past. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine.
