Joshpae's Stuffed Habanero's and Jenna's Bacon Wrapped Peaches

In my post about my Habanero Peaches, ( Here) I mentioned that it was a collaboration between two of my friends recipes and I thought that I would share them here in case anyone was wondering about them.

I will start with Joshpae's Bacon Wrapped, Stuffed Habaneros.

These were great but oh so HOT! I am a huge fan of spicy stuff. I put habanero's in a lot of recipes and can handle the heat and don't have to get out of the kitchen, if you know what I mean but after two of these my mouth was on fire. Which is why I actually wanted to try some other method to get these flavors together.

What my friend Joshpae did was buy 8-10 habeneros and chop the tops off them all. Then use a butter knife and scrape out some of the insides so he could stuff them. He then put softened cream cheese in a zip lock bag and cut one end off and squeezed the cream cheese into the habaneros. He then wrapped a piece of bacon around the habanero, using the bacon to seal in the cream cheese and secured it with a pre soaked toothpick. (I think that if I made these again I would use a 1/2 piece of bacon because it was hard to get the bacon cooked all the way through.) Then he BBQ'd them on Med/High heat until bacon was to his desired crispy level. Let cool for a minute and serve but beware of their heat, spicy heat, that is.

The other half of the collaboration was Jenna's Bacon Wrapped Peaches. She cut her peaches into 8 pieces. Wrapped each piece with a basil leaf and then wrapped that in a piece of bacon. Then cooked in a skillet on medium low heat, turning as needed until her bacon reached her desired level of crispiness. She also made a balsamic reduction to drizzle over them that consisted of an aged balsamic vinegar heated in a small saucepan, with honey (optional) until it reduces to a syrup like consistency.

Sorry about the fact their are no pictures but as I stated these were their recipes and I just went off their pictures and experiences, so I apologize again..
