Margarita Jelly, a recipe from a friend

My girlfriend brought some of this to us the other day. I was skeptical but it's REALLY good! It has Tequila in it and I know some can't handle it.....but I don't think there's enough to cause problems. ENJOY!

That sounds great. Anything with Jose Quirvo in it is bound to be scrumptious.

My wife has gotten some Jelly from a little home decorating goodie store.
It comes in various flavors of a jelly or jam that has jalapena flavoring in it. They have it in rasberry, blueberry, blackberry and I am not sure about what else. It is awesome. (Posted Image)

I was really shocked that it is so darned good. Barb puts it over some creamed cheese and it is really fantastic with any kind of assorted crackers. (Posted Image)

A local place sells jelly made by a little 90+ year old lady. I've had her Rhubarb jelly and her wild currant jelly. They're awesome ......and as you say, on cream cheese on a bagal is outstanding! I'd never heard of rhubarb jelly before but will make some if I can ever get a rhubarb to grow out here! (or keep the deer from eating it!)

my aunt used to make wine jelly with different wines - OMG it was delicious. Too bad I never got her recipe - does anyone have a good wine jelly recipe?

Link to wine jelly, looks super easy: wine jelly

YUM! Ripple Jelly, Muscatel Jelly, Two-buck-chuck jelly!!! ;)

Let me tell you that I would be willing to be your taste tester on any of those alchohol flavored jams or jellies.
That is the least that I could do.(Posted Image)
