In the heat of summer, why settle for the same old mild-mannered jelly?

Harvest House Jalapeno Pepper Jelly, made on the Beck family farm in Green Bluff, is a mildly spicy spread that can accompany meats or complement crackers and cream cheese.

For more traditional tastes, the Becks also make jellies, jams and fruit butters using more familiar ingredients from raspberries to apples to pumpkins.

Price: $4-$5 for 8 ounces.

Available: In Spokane at Huckleberry’s Natural Market and in Green Bluff at Beck’s Harvest House and Orchard, 9919 E. Greenbluff Road (238-6970, becksharvesthouse.com).
