Snappy Strawberry Jalapeno Sauce

I have this weird obsession with collecting jars.  Like the Classico pasta jars?  They are so pretty, I hate to recycle them right away.  I also love the fancy smaller jars that olives or spreads come in…anything really, but if it has a different shape I’m in!  Unfortunately, the glass cupboard (that’s where I keep them) gets so full that I’ve had them come tumbling out.  So, when this happens, I set my mind to using a few of them up.  This snappy sauce was perfect!  Easy and when I needed a quick appetizer to take to Game Night at a friends, I grabbed my jar and headed out the door.  It was delicious!
