Steps:
- For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk all at once. Stir just until a shaggy dough is formed.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough 3 or 4 times. Pat out the dough 1/2 inch thickness. With a 3 inch round biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour, cut out the dough and transfer to a baking sheet. (You can also cut out squares with a sharp paring knife.) Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown and serve hot.
- For the relish: In a blender or food processor, puree the bell peppers and jalapeno chiles until smooth.
- In a 6-quart saucepan, combine the pureed peppers and chiles, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a hard rolling boil and boil 1 minute. Add the pectin and return the mixture to a full rolling boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and skim any foam from the top. Immediately pour into hot, sterilized jars to 1/8inch of the tops. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth.
- Seal the jars with the flat lids and screw tops. Invert the jars for 5 minutes, the turn upright. After the jars are cool, check the seals by pressing the middle of the lid with your finger. If the lid springs up when your finger releases the lid, it is not sealed. Or use the USDA water bath method.
BISCUITS AND GRAVY ROLLS
While this biscuit and gravy recipe might at first seem pretty standard, there's a delicious secret hiding between the flaky layers of these warm, fluffy biscuits. We put a delightful twist on what you know as classic biscuits and gravy by sprinkling cooked ground sausage into the Bisquick™ biscuit dough before baking. Not only do you get to enjoy the taste of flavorful sausage in every bite, but the traditional sawmill gravy that gets drizzled over the biscuits is one of the best thick and creamy homemade gravy recipes you'll ever meet. Top it off by grinding a bit of black pepper over your meal before serving for the final finishing touch. Fair warning-our homemade biscuits and gravy tend to go fast, so don't be surprised if you have to make double.

CAJUN SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE GRAVY OVER BISCUITS
A few years back I was visiting friends in LA, and after a long day of fishing, a wonderful dinner with fresh fish of course, the next day we all woke up famished. Well ... biscuits with sausage gravy was the request, but I wanted to do something a little cajun. Our last vacation day, so it was clean out the fridge, but still trying to make something that resembled biscuits with sausage gravy. After a quick run to a local quick stop to get some cream and biscuits we were set. Well this is the creation, and it is really good. The only thing I have changed since I returned is that I love to add some scallions right at the end for a fresh flavor, but otherwise, pretty much the same. Make this for a breakfast/brunch for family this holiday season. And if you don't want to use andouille, use a spicy or mild sausage along with the cajun spices. And if you bake, make your own biscuits. I'm just not much of a baker, so I take a short cut and use a canned biscuit. We served this with some scrambled eggs and Bloody Mary's (it was the last day of vacation). But skip the eggs, and you won't miss them - this is a very satisfying dish.

Steps:
- Sausage -- In a large saute pan cook the diced andouille on medium heat until cooked through. Don't cook it at too high of a temperature. You want to slowly saute it. Once it is done, remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
- Sauce -- In the same pan, pour out the drippings from the andouille (no need to clean the pan out, the flavor is fine, you just don't want all the oil) and add the fresh olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add in the onion, celery, red pepper and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes.
- Deglaze -- Originally I used chicken broth because that is all I had. Now, I like to deglaze with white wine just to get all the bits up off the pan. Add the wine and scrape up the bits from the pan and cook just a minute, then remove from the heat and slowly add in the cream, hot sauce (to taste) and the cajun seasoning and return to the heat on medium low cook until it reduces about 20-30 minutes. The cream will naturally thicken on it's own.
- Shrimp and Sausage -- After the sauce has thickened, add the sausage back in as well as the shrimp and cook on medium heat until the shrimp begin to curl and turn pink. Add salt and pepper if needed according to your taste.
- Biscuits -- Now I just used a canned biscuit, so I baked them according to directions, but if you want to make your own, by all means please do.
- Serving -- Right before serving, add in the scallions and serve this decadent sauce over sliced biscuits.
- Cook up some of your favorite eggs and serve with some Bloody Mary's for a perfect brunch. This also would make a great lunch or dinner.
J.P.'S BIG DADDY BISCUITS
This recipe will produce the biggest biscuits in the history of the world! Serve these gems with butter, preserves, honey, gravy or they can also be used as dinner rolls...you get the picture. The dough can also be prepared several hours, and up to a day ahead of time. If so, turn dough out onto aluminum foil that has been either floured, lightly buttered or lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Roll up foil until it is sealed, and refrigerate. Don't be surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder has had more time to act in the dough. You may have to make a few batches before you get desired results: desired results equals huge mongo biscuits.
