Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos

8-12 large Jalapenos
1/2 pound ground Mild Italian Sausage
1 "tub" of plain Cream Cheese
Blackberry, Marionberry, or Raspberry Jelly (home made of course!)

Fry sausage in frying pan. Cut Jalapenos in half and gut them out. Discard seeds (or use in my stuffed tomato recipe.) Fill the Jalapeños with the cream cheese. Top with the cooked sausage. Cook in oven at 375 for about 8 minutes, until the sausage is crispy and the cream cheese starts to turn brown. Serve with the jelly on the side for dipping.

Variations include a good Serrano Ham, or chopped Apple/Garlic Andouille sausage to replace the Italian sausage.
