Sugar on ABTs?

QBH

Hi All,

Making some pulled pork ABTs for a party this afternoon.  I was thinking about sprinkling some turbinado sugar on the top of the bacon, to sweeten them up.  Anyone ever tried this?  Suggestions?

Thanks

Im sure I had other "handles" over the years, but it had been a long time.

Yes that will be good. You could use a combination of sugar and chili powder for a little sweet and heat action.   I am sure straight sugar will be great as well since you already have heat from the jalapeno peppers.   Perhaps some paprika just for color (Imo paprika doesn't add any heat).

Never tried it, but I will. @henapple makes them with chocolate bars, so there's a precedent.

Depending on the bacon you use, there may be sugar in there already. I mix things in the cream cheese if I want to doctor them up. If you scrape the seeds and white membrane thoroughly, they will not be hot at all.

Thanks for the prompt replies.  I'll give it a try.  Worst that can happen in failure.

I haven't used sugar before, but I have spread some sweet jalapino jelly on top before adding the bacon wrap. I think you can see the glistening here. They are delicious with the added topping!

That a great idea, Ron.  Had I thought about it, I might have done that instead, but they are made, and about to go o the egg.

Brown sugar and bacon fail? Pig candy mon ami. Toss some cayenne or Indian red chilli powder on them too.

Sure... why not?  I tried @henapple MPDs last year and they killed.

WOW - that's a memory jogger! QBabe used to be a regular on the other forum...how she be? I know I still have some of her recipes saved. Happy Holidays to the two of you!

Thanks Ron, she is good.  Back in school again, and staying busy.

BTW, the sugar on the ABTs was very good, I probably should have used a little more, but I didn't want to over do it.  I was thinking later, that Dizzy Pig's Pineapple Head rub would be really good, assuming they still make it, we are kind of out of touch with current events in the egg world.

Good! Yes, Pineapple Head is still a popular selling rub for Chris. BTW he has also introduced some others in the past couple years. You might want to check them out.
