Bristol Bar & Grille's fajita and Southwestern Marinade

1/3 cup honey
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbl minced cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp cracked black peppercorns (we used freshly ground pepper and NOT 2 tsp)
2 Tbl red current jelly
1 Tbl red wine vinegar
1/2 red pepper, seeds removed and chopped
2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
4 slices canned jalapenos

Place ingredients in a food process or purée. This marinade works well with beef and pork, as well as with chicken. Makes about 1-cup.

Very tasty, but not as firey as I expected. Sandy said that it would make good dressing for a Mexican Salad, what ever that is. ;o)
