Trying something with Bacon for a change




Need one pound of Bacon.
Need some Coffee.
Need some Chipotles.
Need some Garlic.
Need some Spices.






Need some patience as it simmers for 2 to 2-1/2 hours.


Any guesses? 


It's Bacon Jam, in use in this post (link).

Spice Rubbed T-Bone with Grilled Potato Skins

Along with homemade bbq-steak sauce for the steaks



T-Bone and two small strip steaks

The rub is great but was pretty spicy - for once, I will cut back on the cayenne the next time I use this rub.



Grilled Potato Skins

First bake the potatoes until nearly done, then cut in half length-wise. Scrape out some of the potato so that there is about a 1/2" of potato left inside the skin. Brush some garlic butter on both sides of the taters and grill about 4 minutes on both sides. Add some cheddar and bacon during the last minute of grilling. Sour cream and chives finishes them off.

Barbeque Chicken (with 'shroom Bombs!)

New recipe for homemade bbq sauce. I tripled the amount of Cayenne :)






And made a few with our beer can chicken rub for the kiddies.

Cedar Smoked Pork Loin

with Pineapple Salsa



Very flavorful and very quickly disappeared off of the serving platter.

First time making this, so there are a couple of tweaks I'd make the next time. I removed just about all of the fat from the top of the pork loin, next time I plan on leaving some so it can render down over the roasting loin (can't leave too much on because of the plank method of grilling and flare up's wouldn't be desired). For the salsa, I used one tablespoon of minced Jalapeno pepper while the recipe called for a teaspoon. Next time, I'll use a whole pepper since there wasn't really any heat imparted into the salsa. Also, I didn't pick up fresh basil for the salsa, so I used dried basil instead (1/2 of the serving). While others liked the salsa flavor, I thought it was a bit basil-ly, so I would either use fresh or cut back even more next time.

Definite keeper in the pork recipe department.

Baby Back Ribs

4 1/2 hours, applewood smoked with a homemade Jack Daniels BBQ glaze. The glaze is sweet and has a kick of cayenne at the end.




And Bullseye BBQ sauce, too.

Coming up later today...



Rub on.
