Jim:
I dont know, some thing you just got to learn the hard way.
I remember years ago I was visiting a friend of mine who was making some pickled yellow and red banana peppers. He had spent the afternoon working on them, with out gloves. We had a couple of beers after I arrived and the enevitable trip to the bathroom happened... It was so funny to hear him, a little at first, then a little louder, then some cussin tossed in and some dancing around... I almost pissed my pants laughin, he didnt think it was so funny and got rather upset with me.
Like I said, some things just have to be experienced. _________________ Chargriller Akorn

True. I was once STUPID enough to scratch a deep itch in my nose just after cutting up a bunch of hot peppers to pickle.
Man, did that burn, and I swear I think I sneezed for 45 minutes straight. |

Same thing happened to me at the lake a couple of weeks ago. After preparing the ABTs and a couple of beers, well... Fortunately I had my swim suit on and took a little dip in the water. That cooled things down a bit.
Latex gloves will be mandetory on my next batch.  _________________ "BBQ may not be a religion in Texas, but the two institutions are closely associated."

I think every one should have their own pepper story, its the best way to learn...
Just remember to wash up before getting friendly with the wife, not the right way to heat things up in the bed room if ya know what I mean..  _________________ Chargriller Akorn

WOW! I got some maple bacon from costco and used that, it was a hit! Thanks guys for the tip! Funny thing too, when I was cutting the jalepeno's my wife's eyes started watering and she was coughing......I cleared out the kitchen with those things! Woohoo! I have to remember that!  |

| yeah I think I did 70ish Talk about time consuming!! They were being eaten as soon as they hit the platter. I was cooking a number of things so I did them in waves of 20 or so. We ran outta bacon so my brother and I started eating the uncooked ones, wich were pretty tasty as well! |

These were absolutely brilliant Jeff.
I made up a dozen to try them out. Unfortunately couldn't source any Jalapenos so had to settle for ball chillis.
I thought I'd have them all to myself, but the "Trouble & Strife" arrived home just as I was getting the ABTs out of the oven. Eldest son was also in tow as well.
I expected the T&S to politely decline, but when she saw them, couldn't resist.
Between her & eldest son, I got to taste one, the rest disappeared in a flurry of arms, legs, fists, knives etc. Not a pretty sight I can assure you.
Anyway, it shouldn't be too long before Jalaps will be available here, so I'll make some more with true ingredients.
Thanks again.
BTW. I sprinkled them with smoked paprika & cooked 'em in a normal oven _________________ Wal

They are so much better smoked. I have made them in the oven as well when I cant use the smoker. _________________ Chargriller Akorn

Thanks Roxy. - Everything's better smoked.
When I made 'em, it was p*ss pourin' rain outside so I decided to give 'em a go in the standard. First decent rain we've had in years & all we got was about an inch. We're still drought declared in our area.
I've run out of pecan wood at present & not too sure whether ironbark or box (firewood) would do the job. Unfortunately I have to wait another week before I can access the pecan farm due to boggy conditions. _________________ Wal

yeah they are great huh. Not my invention though stumbled up on the recipe/idea and gave them a try and just had to share this one. I would think most any small pepper would work if you can stand the heat that is present. Instead of pork or beef try stuffing with shrimp or fish its great also. |

Did a dozen or so ABT`s today i used colby jack cheese instead of cream cheese and let my fire get to hot. That was a cheese sticky mess ran out of the peppers and pooped all over the place. I guess thats why the recipe call`s for cream cheese, doesn`t seem to melt like other cheeses. I`ve done abt`s at higher temps before with no problem but this time it was a little bit messy. When i was cleaning the seeds and membrane out i got squirted in the forhead with juice and wipped it off with the back off my hand thinking that was close, went out side to check the fire and goof off, was a little hot today i started to sweet a little and damb if my forhead and my face was getting a little to hot then i remembered the pepper juice. Didnt help much to wash my face but i tried any way ended up washing my face with a little lemon juice, that worked. Live an learn........ |

Jeffy:
Last weekend I made a triple batch and I used half cream cheese half extra old chedar. The mixture stayed put a lot better than with no cream cheese. I think I prefer them with a mixture that just straight cheddar. I added a ton of green onions, rub and some BBQ sauce as well so the filling tasted good on a cracker, man it was tasty just like that. Maybe some bacon and I got a new chip dip.  _________________ Chargriller Akorn

Just made my first batch of ABT's. I added some diced green onion and garlic to the cream cheese, and used cheese Lil Smokies - man, I'm hooked. I see a lot of possibilities for variation here, like pepperoni and Italian sausage, call them Pizza Turds.
Even the wife ate some, since the heat cooks out of the pepper - she likes 'em too, dammit. Now I gotta make twice as many.....
