I made it a little on the warm side this time. I started with 2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup crushed red peppers & 1/2 cup rub. I used Farmland thick sliced bacon, laid one side down in the mixture & patted it down to get an even coating on one side only. Put in smoker at 250 (rub side up!) till done, misting once an hour with AJ / JD. Then I cut each one in half & took the whole mess to a b-day party for a couple of my g-kids.

On a side note, my youngest boy was grilling burgers & hot dogs for the b-day party. I grabed a burger, put on a slice if cheese & then added three 1/2 slices of the pig candy. Beats the hell out of a bacon cheeseburger at the local drive through. :biggrin:

BBQ_Mayor · May 5, 2008

What you trying to do to us Dave...Ah the memories.

Kidcurry73 · May 5, 2008

Ive got to try pig candy, that looks really good!

Bride of Roo(BQ'n) · May 5, 2008

Dave Im amazed you cleaned all those peppers yourself, I was waiting for my bucket of whitewash to show up and lead the way...

Now my mouth is watering....some ABTs going on with the two cases of Pork Butt Thursday....I even have some left over brisket to add to it just as I was taught!

Divemaster · May 5, 2008

That does look good... I feel your pain on the ABT's... Got a catering job coming up that is going to require 18 dozen....

Once you've tried the pig candy, give Hawaiian BBQ Candy a shot.....

I have a jerky shooter that does a great job filling ABTs if you want to use it.

I'm still skeptical about the Hawaiian BBQ candy.

18 dozen!!! That's a lot of prep work. What do you charge on a bunch that big?

I actually had Tawny helping (?) me for awhile, but it still took two evenings to "git 'er did".

See above ^^^^^. Tawny is my 12 year old (going on 27) g-daughter that adopted us.

You gotta try them... I came up with the name because I didn't think anyone would try SPAM candy...

$8.00 a dozen.... The peppers we've been getting have been HUGE so I've been quartering them so I get 4 out of each pepper, halving each 'Smokey Joe', and each one gets a half slice of bacon... Just the right size that you get a single bite....

Great looking vittles there Dave. The USPS must have lost my invite also.

DaChief · May 6, 2008

Looks great and a lot of work as well. Thanks for the invite you sent to me but I was out of the country! I'll make it next time:wink:
