St. Joseph's Abbey: Spencer, Massachusetts
St. Joseph's Abbey is a monastery of the Catholic Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (O.C.S.O.), popularly known as the "Trappists", located in Spencer, Massachusetts.
The Abbey was founded in 1950 by Belgian and French Trappist monks from the Monastery of Our Lady of the Valley in Valley Falls, Rhode Island, which had burned to the ground. In the rustic hills of central New England, they established a new home in which to follow an age-old contemplative way of life.
The monastery became known internationally as the origin of the Centering Prayer movement, whose leading proponents were monks at the monastery: Fr. William Meninger, Fr. M. Basil Pennington and Fr. Thomas Keating.
Work has always been greatly esteemed in the Cistercian tradition, since it gives the monks the opportunity to follow in Christ' footsteps and share in His Divine work of creation and restoration. The monks produce products whose sale provides for their livelihood and for the care of the poor. Since the 1950s, they have produced Trappist Preserves, their popular line of jams and jellies. Since 1949, The Holy Rood Guild has created beautiful, finely-tailored liturgical vestments to enhance the dignity of the Sacred Liturgy.
Ingredients: Sugar, red bell peppers, water, red jalapeno peppers, distilled vinegar, pectin, citric acid

Very Tasty... BUT...

BUT... It's NOT HOT... I'll explain: I LOVE HOT... so when I saw Hot Pepper Jelly I was excited... but the first ingredient is Sugar and the second is Sweet Red Bell Peppers... there might be a sprinkling of (not so hot) Jalapeno peppers with a light dusting of Cayenne... that makes it a SWEET Pepper Jelly, which is very flavorful and good... BUT NOT HOT... Don't tell the Monks, but I'm going to put the 2 jars of it back on the stove and toss in some Red Pepper Flakes w/seeds and "fix" it...

The hot pepper jelly is the best I've ever had!! I got it at the Market Basket grocery store in Massachusetts.
I now live in FL I could not find it at any local super markets! I then went right to the source and now I have plenty.
P S Amazon wanted $19.95 for one jar shoppers be warned.

The best pepper jelly I have tasted. I love that it does (not) contain onions that take away from the peppers.
