Our POSSUM JAM has jalapenos, garlic, onion, turmeric, ginger but really has a taste all its own. It is marvelous on hot buttered cornbread. Stir into any type of beans, as a side with meats and mashed potatoes, right out of the jar.
2 things about this batch. FIRST, I mixed it up a bit and added brown sugar along with the white and also mixed in some cayenne pepper. SECOND, it is a very short batch. There seems to be a shortage of jalapenos around town and this is all I could scrounge up. See you at Beanfest. 4 jars only. Oct. 23-24, 2026. Hours are 11 to 6 Friday and 9 to 4 Saturday behind the picket fence.
