My grandma in Tulsa puts grape jelly in her chili and I finally tried it at 2am
I was at her house last month, she was out of cheese so she stirred in a spoon of Welch's and the bowl went from sad to perfect in about ten seconds. She said her own mom did it during the war when sugar was short, and now I can't eat chili without it. Does anyone else have a weird sweet thing their family puts in a savory dish?
