Little snacky items such as fritters are great because you can create so many different flavor combinations. Whether done in a pan or fried crispy, the earthy sweetness of the corn and onions is countered nicely with the sweet-and-sour jalapeño jelly. To help balance that sweetness, I used a dry Dortmunder for both the fritters and the jelly.
