The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Was trying to come up with a way to use all my rhubarb. I wondered how a jam would be with jalapeños. It's delicious! I will add a bit more heat next time. I doubled the recipe and used 12 medium peppers. Delicious on a bagel with cream cheese. Yum!! Made 12, 1/2 pints.

Its very tasty. Is there a way to make it with less sugar??? Best jam I made this season for sure! Thank YOU!
You'd have to experiment with less sugar to see if you can get to a point that it still gets the right consistency but without as much sugar.

I really like this rhubarb and jalapeno jam recipe, It tastes great and adds a new twist to what to make with rhubarb (since a have a lot of rhubarb) all the other rhubarb recipes started to get kinda boring. The only thing I changed was i added 8 Thai jalapenos in stead of 4. :)
