  1. Advance preparation: Corn bread can be prepared 12 hrs in advance. Place rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cover with aluminum foil or possibly plastic wrap. Store at room temperature. Reheat in a 350-degree oven for about 8 min. Jam can be prepared 3 days in advance and stored, airtight, in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.
  2. Cook's note: Jalapenos vary in their degree of hotness. Make the jam and taste it. If necessary, increase the amount of chilies to suit your taste.
  3. I have used as much as 2 Tbsp. of chopped jalapenos. When working with fresh chilies, wash hands and work surface thoroughly upon completion. Don't touch your face or possibly eyes.
  4. Preliminaries: Fifteen min before baking corn bread, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
