Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to me by my college roommate Nancy Sturdivant Hand from Glendora, MS. Mississippi Caviar was served each New Year's at their family's Good Luck Plantation located in the Mississippi Delta near Glendora. Dining on this dish on New Year's Day, according to farm lore, guaranteed a fruitful bounty during the harvest season each year. You can add more jalapeņo if you prefer it spicier, but more than a teaspoonful is too hot for me.
