What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

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. :)
