Ingredients (See Box Above, "IMPORTANT - About Our Recipes" for Information about Quantities)

  • Jalapeño Peppers
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • Cream Cheese
  • Ham chopped into small pieces
  • Pineapple Chutney store bought or homemade (See below for links to some good recipes to make at home - Coming Soon)

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.
  • Add cream cheese to each jalapeño to cover the bottom, leaving a concave "well" to place other ingredients. (Click the link above to see pictures of this step, if the instructions are unclear to you.) Set jalapeños aside.
  • Add a generous helping of chopped ham to each jalapeño.
  • Add a layer of pineapple chutney to each jalapeño.
  • Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet and place back in oven.
  • Cook, watching closely, until cream cheese is hot and bubbling, or bacon is done, if using, about 15 - 20 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.
