Final Comments


Testing Notes

"I substituted pickled jalapeño slices for the fresh jalapeño. I rinsed the slices and patted them dry to get 2 tablespoons of chopped jalapeño. I also substituted cane vinegar for the cider vinegar, and cane syrup for the honey. I served the spread with crackers, toasted French bread slices, and toasted rye and raisin bread slices. The rye and raisin breads were outstanding with the spread."
