Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Brats in Puff Pastry

Ingredients:

8 Boski Jalapeño Cheddar Brats

2 sheets Puff Pastry (thawed)

1 jar Jennifer’s Kitchen Strawberry Pepper Jam (available in-store)

Runamok Apple Brandy Barrel Aged Maple Syrup (to taste)

1 lb Smith’s Sliced Pepper Bacon

Directions

Cook the Bacon:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Lay bacon slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until partially cooked but still pliable.

Let cool slightly for easy handling.

Wrap the Brats:

Wrap each jalapeño cheddar brat with a slice of partially cooked bacon. Set aside.

Prep the Puff Pastry:

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 large squares.

Spread a thin layer of strawberry pepper jam over each square, leaving a small border around the edges.

Assemble and Bake:

Place a bacon-wrapped brat on each jam-covered pastry square.

Roll the pastry around the brat, sealing the edges tightly.

Cut each wrapped brat into 4 equal pieces and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown.

Finish with Maple Glaze:

Drizzle warm maple syrup over the baked pastries before serving.

Serve these spicy, savory, and sweet bites as a standout appetizer or party treat!
