Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut the jalapeños into a boat cut. (Click the link above to see how to do a Boat Cut.)
  • Sprinkle insides of cut jalapeños lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer your finished jalapeños to be more raw and crunchy.)
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
  • Slather a nice portion of pimento cheese into each jalapeño.
  • Top with a nice but maybe a bit smaller portion of bacon jam.
  • Wrap bacon around each jalapeño. Secure with a toothpick, if you like.
  • Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet and place back in oven.
  • Cook, watching closely, until cream cheese is hot and bubbling and bacon is done, about 25 - 30 minutes. Check to make sure jalapeños and bacon are done to your liking. If not, place back in oven for more time.
  • Remove from oven when done and enjoy hot.
