WELL TATER.. I DID IT!
Finally made my first batch of ABT's!!
Thanks for the tips and ideas. I made the recipe with the crabmeat and cheese wrapped in bacon of course. Smoked with Apple Wood.
Came out very good for my first time.
I did use both Jalapenos and a Red Fresno pepper that I saw in the store.
The Jalapenos we much better! Made a batch of 55 halves.
And do wear latex gloves when cleaning these peppers! I was literally gaggin' and crying at the sink preparing them and smellin' the fumes from them.
But once you get the guts out of them, they really are not hot at all.
Big Ken... as for finding peppers this time of year. No problem. I found them in a local Price Chopper.
PS.. Just don't eat too many in one sitting! They do catch up to ya later!
