Steps:
- Soften cream cheese, grate the gouda, partially drain the can of crushed pineapple and combine all with the bacon bits.
- While that rests, cut the stem ends off 1 to 2 dozen jalapeños, depending on their size. Remove the seeds and the membrane. Using a small spoon or knife stuff each jalapeño.
- Place the filled jalapenos in a rack and cook on the grill or in the oven at 350° for 30-45 minutes, again, depending on the size.
- Keep some of the cheese mixture to serve with them because some of the cheese will bubble out. I use a foil bread pan and cut X's in the bottom, place upside down and press the jalapeños into each hole. Can usually get 6-8 in each. Makes cleanup easy, just throw them away after. I also have a jalapeño rack I got at a store, but the foil is way easier and will accommodate various sized jalapeños. All love these with the hot peppers and the sweetness of the pineapple. The smoked gouda is a nice touch and differs greatly from cheddar. Can also dice jalapeño to add to the cheese mix. ENJOY.

PINEAPPLE JALAPENO POPPERS
Pineapple cream cheese makes this treat perfect. No one would ever guess the pineapple was in there! When I don't have pineapple cream cheese on hand, I just mix together cream cheese and crushed pineapple.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Select pineapples that are heavy for their size and have a golden yellow color. Avoid pineapples with green or brown spots, as they may be unripe or overripe.
- Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños have a brighter flavor and are less likely to be bitter than dried or canned jalapeños.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat level of the poppers. If you want spicier poppers, leave some of the seeds in.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple and jalapeños: This will help to prevent them from tearing or becoming bruised.
- Don't overcook the poppers: The pineapple and jalapeños should be slightly softened, but still have a little bit of a crunch.
- Serve the poppers immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Pineapple jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. They are a great way to combine the sweet and spicy flavors of pineapple and jalapeños. These poppers are sure to be a hit with your guests.
