What's the matter with a plain old PB&J? You will be surprised what it does to peanutbutter.

Have seen and tried it mixed with cream cheese and used as a pretzel dip.
We heat it and just dump it over the cream cheese and spread it on bagel chips.
It also makes a wonderful ham glaze.

WOW This is great. I had no idea pepper jelly was so versitile. I'll be sure to try several of these ideas. And....I hadn't even thought about heating it up for use in recipes!!
That cheesecake especially sounds interesting. I'll make that for sure. I can't even imagine what it will taste like, but we love peppers, so it has to be good.
Thanks, and keep them coming!!

You can also make a pepper jelly vinaigrette (salad dressing) with it. Goes great on salads that have a little cheese (bleu or feta), nuts, dried cranberries. I use this recipe from Cooking Light:
Spinach Salad with Gorgonzola, Pistachios, and Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette
1/4 cup red pepper jelly
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 cups fresh baby spinach
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese -- (1 ounce)
1/4 cup dry-roasted pistachios
1. Place jelly in a 1-cup glass measure. Microwave at HIGH 30 seconds. Add cider vinegar, oil, salt, and black pepper, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cool to room temperature.
2. Combine spinach and cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle vinegar mixture over spinach mixture; toss well. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve immediately.
Servings: 6

Another tasty item is cheese kisses.
Use those Athenos mini filo tart shells, they come 15 to a box. Or you can use Tostitos scoops. Line them up on a cookie sheet or other shallow pan that fits in the oven.
Put cubes of brie or monterrey jack or pepper jack cheese in the tart shell or scoop.
Top each with about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pepper jelly.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Enjoy warm!

I've also baked a small brie, with the jalapeno jelly on top, with a scattering of almonds or pinenuts over the jelly. Set it up on a small cookie plate, freeze it for a few hours, then pop in the oven till the brie bubbles out the side. Serve with water crackers. Amazing fun... just a variation on cream cheese and jelly, but more interesting. You can get more fancy and wrap the whole thing in puff pastry dough, or little squares of each & dough, egg wash and freeze and bake, but more work for same flavors.

Goes great with pretty much any roast.
Add it to your morning oatmeal for a real eye-opener.
Spread it on a hot bagel.
Eat it with a spoon.
