While I was at work yesterday, I came up with an idea that I'd like to try. Being that cornbread is already sort of sweet, I decided that I will try to mix in some diced habaneros into the batter the next time I make it with beans. Sounds like a fine idea to me. I'll update later after I try it.
UPDATE:
It's the 25th, 9 days later. I tried the cornbread and it was terrific! It spiced up the home-made pork and beans nicely.
