Killer Stuffed Jalapenos
"An easy and delicious appetizer. I fix them almost every time I barbeque. The combination of heat and sweetness is superb."

- Serves:

12
ingredients
- 12 jalapeno chiles (biggest & fattest you can find.)
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄4 cup chopped green onion
- 1 -2 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- apricot jam
directions
- Cut tops off jalapenos, cut in half and remove seeds and membranes. (I do this in the sink filled with water and work under the water. Drain and dry.
- Mix cream cheese with the green onions and cajun seasoning.
- Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread apricot jam generously over the filled jalapenos.
- Grill on the BBQ for about 15 to 20 minutes over very low or indirect heat. I like mine fairly firm but you can cook them longer if you desire. I use a small hole vegetable holder on the grill. Or you can also bake them in the oven at 350 degrees until done.

Made exactly as recipe called for but baked in oven. These are WONDERFUL. Bought to office today and everyone loved them. We just put them in the microwave and heated for a few seconds. The apricot jam on the jalapenos really made these. Don't think I would change anything on these. -
YUM! Really nice side or appy. I added a little cilantro as well, and ended up finishing them up in the oven because the grill was full. I didn't have the apricot preserves either, but will be sure to use those next time. Really good recipe that I plan to make again.

<p>I guess it's been awhile since I've updated my info (that's an understatement!). I live on 10 acres outside San Luis Obispo with my hubby and our 6 cats and very large dog. Sam (my icon cat) passed away a few years ago. Bob, the feral cat that is the biggest and clumsiest goofball in the world is still around.? Big Red, an overweight sweetie that was partially tame, especially at mealtime passed a year ago due to a rattlesnake bite and Spook - another feral - pure black with yellow eyes is also still with us. Our little Dash passed away about 6 years ago at 18 months and broke our hearts in the process. There's a picture of her on my Soups & Stews cookbook. Since that time, (4 years ago) we got our beloved Franci (Great Pryrenees/Lab mix) and 2 months ago adopted a litter of kittens - 3 in all.? We have Skipper, Ginger and Marianne.? Who says you can't have a houseful of children and herd cats when you're in your 70s? I love to cook and garden and now that I am semi-retired, I have more time to do both. My husband is a willing guinea pig for my cooking and since he's still among the living, I guess I haven't had too many klunkers. This site is the best thing since sliced bread. All my cookbooks are now on display. I only use 4 and 5 star reviews - why hurt someone's feelings with a mediocre or bad review. Just don't make the dish again.</p>
