Ingredients:

2 lb medium mushrooms or Monterey mushrooms, stems pulled and washed

2 Tblspn extra virgin olive oil

2 Cups berry jam or Smuckers Simply Fruit

1 Cup sweet pickled jalapenos

1 ea sweet onion, sliced thin

1 C flour, seasoned with 1 Tblpsn of McCormick Pepper Supreme

3 C canola oil

Preparation:

Preheat your grill to medium high

In a saute pan over medium heat, combine the fruit jam and jalapenos. Bring to a boil, and glaze the sliced jalapenos. Add a Tblspn of the pickled jalapeno juice to thin it out a bit.

Preheat the canola oil in a small pan. Dredge your sliced sweet onion in the seasoned flour. When the oil is hot, add the onions to the oil and let crisp, should only take a minute or less. Pull them out and drain on a paper towel when they are golden brown.

Toss the mushrooms in the extra virgin olive oil, place on the heated grill for 1-2 minutes a side. Until the mushrooms begin to soften. You want them grilled, softened with a bit of texture left. Remove from grill and place on your serving dish cavity side up. Spoon in a glazed sweet jalapeno slice, a bit of the fruit glaze and top with crispy sweet onions for a magnificent texture break.
