What are the Scovie Awards?

The Scovie awards are a national (worldwide) spicy food judging company based out of New Mexico. In 2025 there were entries from 35 states, and 14 counties, and we won 3 awards for our products, in 3 different categories. This was the first time we ever sent our products in to be judged.

Why cant I buy just 1 jar?

In order to minimize shipping costs, we encourage you to buy 2 or more jars.

 

What do I eat these with?

Sliced jalapenos. They are a great garnish on the size of any dish, like sandwiches, pizza, burritos, nachos, burgers, and salads. Chop them up and put them in tuna / chicken salad, or your favorite dip. Appetizers with cheese and crackers. Add them to your charcuterie board. Use the brine in your favorite Bloody Mary, or red beer. Or just straight out of the jar!

Relish. Of course Hot dogs and hamburgers. Other ideas are Hot links, scrambled eggs, mixed with hummus, almost any sandwich (turkey is our favorite), deviled eggs, chips or crackers, and amazing on ay charcuterie board.

Spicy jams. With cream cheese on crackers, or a bagel. Use as a glaze for chicken or pork. Or actually on PB&J's!

Just great tasting, simple ingredients, no artificial preservatives. They do contain cane sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, food colors, ect. See the jar for specific ingredients. 

 

How long is the shelf life?

When stored at room temp pickled jalapenos are best enjoyed within 12 months. But still would be good up to 18 months. Having them in the fridge prolongs there life also.

 

Do pickled jalapenos need refrigeration?

Un-opened jalapenos do not need refrigeration. Store at room temperature. But after you open them, please keep them refrigerated.

The lid on my sliced jalapenos is corroded or stuck.

The acid from the brine can corrode the ring. Tap the edges on a hard surface to loosen it. Careful not to hit the glass. Using a plastic resealable lid is recommended in the fridge and available at our events, or when you order online, just ask us.
