Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    As you might guess from its name, jalapeño jelly adds a jalapeño flavor to foods and can be made from green or red chilies. It varies in spiciness, but unlike salsa, it is smooth in texture. Look for bottles or jars of jalapeño jelly in the same aisle as the salsas at your supermarket.
