A fairly recent pepper jelly entry into the spicy jelly market is Key West Style Key Lime Datil Pepper Jelly from Hurricane Hot Sauce.

Once you taste this pepper jelly, you quickly move past the thin consistency and understand where this tasty pepper jelly plays. The first impression on your palate is the tart but sweet key lime. There is an immediate sweet, almost candy-like flavor and then a subtle heat on the finish from the Datil Pepper. You quickly understand where this pepper jelly fits in your arsenal of specialty condiments. 

Key West Key Lime Datil Pepper Jelly excels as a glaze on baked ham (try this instead of pineapple), pork, chicken and quail. For us, it is not a good fit for a biscuit or toast due to the texture. On the other hand, this pepper jelly is awesome as a topping on vanilla ice cream. Like most pepper jellies, we found that it pairs nicely as a topping on cream cheese or you can also mix this pepper jelly with cream cheese in your blender as a spread on crackers. The flavor is very "key lime" and tasty. On a heat scale, this pepper jelly is mild. The Datil Pepper (which is sweeter than a Habanero Pepper, but just slightly less hot) is felt at the very end. You are almost on the second bite before you start to feel the Datil. 

For the key lime lover, Key West Style Key Lime Datil Pepper Jelly is a must try. I can tell you that we've found a place in our "frig" for this one.
