Both of these recipes are from my sister. The jelly she makes and the cake is a specialty of one of her friends.
Jezebel Jelly
1 small jar pineapple preserves
1 small jar apple jelly
1 regular jar horseradish
1 teaspoon hot mustard
Mix all well. You may pour over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers. This is also good as an accent for pork or ham. And I know you will be serving ham soon.
