Full Fledged Farker
I have been busy about every weekend since October and finally had a nice Saturday evening to relax and grill. I have been wanting to make a bacon wrapped pork tender and to also try out my bourbon peach glaze recipe. I had some jalapenos that need to be cooked too.
I put a coat of rub on the tender, wrapped with bacon and then put some more rub on.
The jalapenos are stuffed with a cream cheese, bacon, peach preserve, rub, salt, pepper and granulated garlic mixture.
I smoked with apple wood chips. It is pretty cold out and you can see some snow on the ground. I was still able to get the kettle to 350 pretty easily.
I applied the two coats of glaze with the first being about 15 min. before it was done and the second about 10 minutes later. I took the pork off the grill at around 142 and tented with foil for 5 minutes or so. I also added some loaded mashed potatoes to the party. It turned out great! The glaze gave it just enough sweet, bourbon flavor. The apple wood smoke came through really well too. The jalapenos were outstanding too.
Thanks for looking!!!
