Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh jalapeños
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 12 strips Thin-sliced bacon
• 1 cup Raspberry preserves
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 drops Red food coloring (optional, for a vivid pink hue)
• 12 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice each jalapeño lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon, being careful to leave the peppers intact.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.

Step 4

Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a slice of bacon, starting at one end and spiraling around. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

Step 6

Place the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 7

While the jalapeños are baking, prepare the pink glaze by combining the raspberry preserves, honey, and optional red food coloring in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and warm, then remove from heat.

Step 8

After 20 minutes of baking, remove the jalapeños from the oven and brush each with the pink glaze.

Step 9

Return the jalapeños to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, garnished with extra glaze if desired.
