The salty-sweet blend of Pineapple, Canadian Bacon and Coconut give a breezy, tropical twist to America's classic Jalapeno Popper.
Caribbean Poppers are baked, not fried. This tasty appetizer has all the fabulous flavor tucked right inside, so there's really no need for a dipping sauce.... but I included one for all you die-hard dippers out there. You know who you are. ;-)
There's nothing like a good challenge to inspire creativity... and you won't find this recipe anywhere but here at Instructables.com.
Let's get poppin'!!!

grrrr at myself.... thank you for commenting CG!
lol... I am still mad at me!
"Not all Jalapeño peppers are created equally", true, the amount of water and heat the plant receives during it's growth influences the strength and sweetness, but this is true of most chilli's. We have the a small red chilli variant in our garden, it receives very little water (due to water restrictions) and is scorched daily by ~95'F African sunshine, thus the small red chilli's are paper thin and super potent. Growing your own chilli's and peppers is very satisfying, a must do for good food!
How's the weather over there in Africa? Is it always that warm?
A few of my friends in the States are freezing their backsides off... but it's been in the high 70's here in Baja.
Snow is a 4 letter word!!!! ;-D
