This post is not so much of a recipe as it is a suggestion.
With all the huge jalapenos coming on, it was time to make some appetizers for Sunday afternoon. After canning all the pepper jelly, I was pretty much spent, but I needed to use more peppers.
I went with an old stand by recipe which is very versatile and can accommodate what you have (or don’t have) in the fridge.
For a more formal recipe, please head back to Fresh Jalapeno Poppers from about a year ago.
This is a super easy recipe: Simply take a block of cream cheese, some salsa and some shredded cheese. Throw it all in a food processor and whip it up. You can also throw in diced jalapenos for more heat.
Blanch some jalapeno halves and stuff them.
Eat.
If you want a hot appetizer, just place a sheet of foil on the grill and grill these up until toasty. (You can also put them under a broiler.)
Sorry, this is not much of a post today but I am canning jalapenos and carrots tonight.
Abby, check out this garden spider.
We have another one in the garden that I hope is eating its weight in white flies.

Wow, these sound wonderful and how simple!! I don’t have jalapenos in my garden but I’m glad they’re so cheap at the markets!
I always plant too many. 🙂
Your Chilled Jalapeno Poppers are adorable. What a great appetizer to have!
Thanks and they’re super easy!
My jalapenos always grow well, but this year we got almost none. Weird. So I’m not overflowing with them as I usually am. Fun stuff. And interesting spider!
I wish I could send you some.
What a gorgeous spider for Abby! I stuck my face in the web of an orb spider this morning. Kind of freaky. 🙂 Great idea for the jalapeno! I’ve never blanched jalapeno, but I can see that it makes a great stuffer pocket. Can’t wait to see the results of your pepper and carrots canning!
Thanks , M.J. We ate jalapeños on some nachos tonight.
Actually that is a great idea and I’m glad you shared! Yum 🙂
I’m all about easy apps.
I agree, I am the same way 🙂
What a delicious poppers idea, so bursting with flavour inside and out 😀

Thanks, Uru.
These would be a party winner!
Like a party in a roof garden? 🙂
