I first tasted this "Can't Miss" recipe at Earl Bentz' lake house. Earl is the founder of Triton Bass Boats in Nashville, TN. He made this with deer loin but I have modified it to use Pork Tenderloin. Here's how it goes:

There are normally two loins in a package of Pork tenderloins. Wash them good and slice off the membrane which is silver and runs across the top and is about an inch wide and 2" long. After removing the membrane, begin cutting the loins until you wind up with pieces that are about 6" long and about 1" in diameter. You should get approximately 10 pieces from the 2 loins. On each one of them, using a good knife, butterfly them lengthwise down the middle but be careful not to cut all the way through. You just want to open them up kind of like a hot dog bun.

After you've prepared the loins, cut your jalapeno strips, unless you can find cans of strips already cut. I use bottled or canned whole pickled jalapenos. Cut the stems off then slice them lengthwise through the middle. Remove the seeds and cut them again lengthwise. The goal is to wind up with strips of jalapeno that are about 1/2" wide.

Lay the strips of jalapeno in the cavity of each loin piece end to end. Now push the loin piece back together and wrap bacon around each piece till all the pork is covered by bacon. Use toothpicks at each end to hold everything together.

Once you've got all the pieces done you need to marinade them, preferably overnight. I recommend that you use only Allegro brand marinade. Others might work but Allegro is superb.

Once they've marinated overnight or longer you are ready to cook them on the grill. I cook them over medium high heat until the bacon is good and crisp on all sides. You want to make sure that the pork is cooked until all the pink is gone. Take them off the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Pull out the toothpicks and slice them crosswise about every ?". Now enjoy one of the best appetizers you?ll ever serve anyone.

P. S. Be sure you drink massive quantities of Buckwheats throughout this process!!!!
