Anyone have any good Jalapeno or Hab cornbread recipes?  I need to make
some in two weeks to
take to a party...

Here is a Mexican Cornbread recipe that I got from my grandmother.

Pearl's Mexican Cornbread

1 stick butter (melted)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup milk or sour cream
1 can (15 oz.) kernel corn or 1/2 can cream corn
1 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup chopped pepper or more to suite taste

Mix all ingredients together. Pour into greased skillet or baking dish. Bake
at 350 degrees until top turns light brown.

This is a very simple recipe. I have tried it with both milk and sour cream.
I prefer the milk. I use either of the two corns, which ever I have on hand
at the time. The amount of pepper I adjust according to which type hot
pepper I have. I have also used various kinds of cheese, all with good luck.
I usually make mine in muffin pans for individual servings, although most
everyone will have to have more than one (so make more than one batch). Hope
you enjoy. Saundra
