The one jar everybody already knows what to do with: pour it over a block of cream cheese, put crackers next to it, and walk away. It's been the easiest appetizer in the South for fifty years and nobody's improved on it.

Sweet and full-bodied with a gentle jalapeño warmth — much more sweet than hot.

Also good brushed on ham, pork loin or chicken wings in the last few minutes of cooking, where the sugar caramelizes and the pepper comes through.

8 oz — our smallest jar, and plenty for a party.
