Directions

• Before you begin assembling your jalapeno poppers, preheat your grill for indirect cooking. For gas grilling: turn the burner temperature to Medium-Low heat. If cooking on charcoal: pile the coals in the middle and arrange the poppers around the outside of the grill. If you are cooking with a pellet grill: set the temperature and allow the grill to preheat for 10-15 minutes before putting the poppers on. You are looking for a grill temperature of about 350 degrees F.
• Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise and clean out the ribs and seeds with a spoon. (Make sure to scrape well if you don’t want a spicy popper).
• Slice each piece of bacon in half lengthwise.
• Fill each jalapeno with a small spoonful of cream cheese, then top with a 1/4 tsp. of jam. Wrap bacon tightly around each pepper. (Secure with a toothpick if necessary).
• Place the poppers on the grill, close the lid, and cook over indirect heat for approx. 25 minutes.
  **If you decide to turn the poppers during cooking, be very careful as they may begin to come apart
• Once your bacon is crisp and your cream cheese is bubbly, remove the poppers from the grill to a serving dish. Serve immediately.
