Jalapeno Peppers and Rick's Popper Recipe

Jalapeno Peppers

We are growing a lot of hot peppers this year.  Last year we didn't have enough to put up as much as we wanted.  Last year we grew jalapeno, serano and habenero peppers. Rick makes pickled veggies with his hot peppers and jalapeno rings and pickled habeneros and jalapeno jelly.


Rick started his peppers from seed this year and you know you have to plant every seed that grows into a plant don't you?

We have 2 jalapeno, 1 serrano, 4 habenero, 4 long thin cayene, 2 anjo and 5 mystery peppers.

Habenero Peppers

The harvest is underway and it appears we will have more than plenty. The Jalapenos are the first ready.

Check out Rick's new recipe for Poppers. They are so delicious.  We have been eating these all week long.  So good.  We cook them on the Traeger grill with the temperature at 375 degrees so I am assuming they would work in the oven at the same temp.

Soften 4 oz cream cheese.  Add 1 T. minced shallot, 2 T minced crisp bacon, 1/4 cup grated cheddar and 1/4 cup grated pecarino ramano cheese.

Slice lengthwise and seed 6-8 Jalapeno peppers. Fill with cheese mixture.

At this point we cook them on a Traeger grill at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.  This is a very forgiving recipe so experiment and add what you think sounds good.

So Yummy!
