I was recently gifted a bottle of sparkling rosé wine. It was a sweet gesture, but it’s been sitting on my shelf for a few months now and I’ve been wondering what I should do with it. I usually don’t opt for bubbly drinks, though I do love the way sparkling wine tastes. So it came down to two options: re-gift it, or get a little creative. Well, I opted for the latter, and the result is this delicious festive sparkling rosé cocktail. Mildly bubbly and completely flavorful.

Jalapeno Jelly: No Pectin
Jalapenos! I happened across far more jalapenos than I possibly could use this summer thanks to my awesome Imperfect Produce delivery. I made some salsas, tacos, and pickled some, but was still looking for something new to use them for. That is how this Jalapeno Jelly: No Pectin (!) came to be.
