SWEET AND SAVORY DEVILED EGGS

Sweet and Savory Deviled Eggs image

My Grandma Phyllis' sweet and savory deviled eggs are unrivaled by any of the ones I've tried. The sweetness of the cherries balances the heat of the jalapeno; celery and pickles give a nice crunch. These snacks are always a party pleaser. -Adrienne Vradenburg, Bakersfield, California
