| Yield: | 10 jalapeno poppers |
Ingredients
- 10 large jalapeno peppers
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 5 slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
- ⅓ cup apricot preserves
- 2 teaspoons water
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Cut each jalapeno lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape the seeds and membranes out of the halves. Place jalapeno halves on the prepared baking sheet.
- Combine cream cheese, horseradish, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Stuff jalapeno halves with the mixture. Wrap each jalapeno with a strip of prosciutto.

- Meanwhile whisk apricot preserves, water, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes together in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and keep sauce warm.
- Place jalapenos on a serving platter and drizzle apricot sauce on top.
- Use 8 extra-large jalapenos or 12-14 small jalapenos.

Reviews
VERY YUMMY! I really like how the sweetness of the sauce goes so well with the heat of the jalapeño popper. I even made a couple of jalapeño poppers with pepper jack cheese. That was yummy too!
No changes. Will make many more times
Yes I changed to orange marmalade for the apricot. Much tastier and gave more heat. Easy to make and quick as well.
