Jalapeño-Ginger Glaze

This spicy glaze is a great holiday present for anyone who relishes a quick hit of heat. Refrigerate it for up to one week.

APPLICATIONS: On a work surface, using the side of a large knife, mash the scallion, garlic and ginger with the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until a coarse paste forms. Transfer the paste to a small saucepan. Stir in the hot pepper jelly and vinegar and bring to a boil. Transfer to a glass jar and let cool.
Brush on chicken, pork chops, spareribs and pork tenderloin during the last few minutes of grilling, broiling or roasting and cook until glossy.
