Spicy Raspberry Dove Poppers

Ingredients

• boneless dove breasts
• large jalapeno peppers
• 1 large onion
• Provolone cheese
• 1 lb hickory smoked bacon, slices cut in half
• Raspberry Walnut dressing
• brown sugar
• cayenne pepper

Instructions

Slice the peppers length wise into thin slices. Remove the seeds and veins.

Cut the onion into pieces about half the size of a single breast.

Cut the cheese into slices about the same size as a single breast.

Wrap one breast, pepper, onion and cheese slice with a piece of bacon. Place in large bowl.

Continue until all the breasts are wrapped.

Pour the dressing over the poppers. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.

Place the poppers on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

While poppers are cooking, in a bowl, mix together 3 parts brown sugar with 1 part cayenne pepper. Adjust for preferred spiciness. Make enough for a light to medium coat on the poppers.

After the poppers have cooked for 20 minutes, sprinkle on the sugar/pepper mix.

Bake another 15 - 20 minutes or until bacon is done.

Remove and let cool for a few minutes.

Serve and enjoy.
