Tried my first small batch of ABTs tonight out of boredom. Pretty simple and turned out nice.
Used halved Jalapenos. Mixed a little bit of diced ham into some onion and chive cream cheese. Topped with a pinch of sharp cheddar and a piece of thick bacon. Smoked with hickory at about 300 deg for appx one hour. Should have let them go just a smidge longer but they were fine.
Bacon really absorbed the smoky flavor and the peppers were mellowed out nicely. I hate really spicy food, not into seeing if I can blister my tongue, but these were almost perfect. Just a slight kick in the aftertaste. And the ice cold beer finished them off very well.
