Flavored Pepper Jellies: Look at pretty much any charcuterie plate in the PNW and you'll likely find some flavor of pepper jelly. Pike Place Market has entire stores dedicated to a vast array of flavors, including mouth-popping flavors like habanero, peach-chipotle, cherry pepper jelly, and if you are brave (and loco en la cabeza, ghost pepper jelly. Woodring's comes to mind (Pike Place Market) and there's also Mick's Peppouri.
