Hot Jalapeno Pepper Sauce

SLICED OR WHOLE JALAPENO PEPPER RECIPE

Just blanche the Jalapeno Peppers in scalding hot water for a few seconds and cool off.

 You can run cold water on them to speed it up if you'd like. Then remove the stem and slice to your liking.

 use recycled jars that have a little plastic on the lid. Once the peppers are in the jar I add 1/2 tsp. of salt, 1/4 tsp. of turmeric as a preservative. it is not essential as the salt and vinegar will help to preserve then.

1/3 water and 2/3 white Vinegar. Shake the bottle real well. Refrigerate after opening.

Trisha Yearwood Key Lime Cake


Trisha Cake Is So So Good....!!!

Trisha Yearwood Key Lime Cake

1 3-oz package lime-flavored gelatin
1⅓ cups granulated sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
5 large eggs, slightly beaten
1½ cups vegetable oil
¾ cup orange juice
1 Tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup Key lime juice (from about 25 small Key limes or 4 large regular limes)
½ cup confectioners’ sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 9-inch-round cake pans.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir to mix well. Add the eggs, oil, orange juice, lemon juice, and vanilla. Divide the batter evenly among the 3 pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Test for doneness by lightly touching the tops of the layers or inserting a toothpick. Cool the layers in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto racks.

3. While the layers are still hot, mix the lime juice and confectioners’ sugar and pour it over the layers on the racks. You can pierce the layers with a fork to allow the glaze to soak in better. Allow the layers to cool completely as you prepare the icing.

CREAM CHEESE ICING

½ cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 (1-lb) box confectioners’ sugar
(I used lime zest & lime juice in my icing)

1. Cream the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is smooth and easy to spread. Spread the icing between the layers and on the top and sides of the cake.

Note: The cream cheese icing is optional. This cake is beautiful and tastes great with just the glaze poured over it. Serves 12.
