Not as much as I wanted. No heat, but a small amount of flavor.

Re: Jalapeno Infused Bacon
Nice! I also wondered how the jalapeno turned out for you. I've not yet been able to get what I want from its incorporation My next step is injection.

Be very careful injecting. It's very easy to blowout and honeycomb the internal fat. Been there, done that. I think the best answer is going to be in the steeping of the cure with the right amount of jalapenos in it.

Re: Jalapeno Infused Bacon
That looks like some really good stuff.
In my case, for the last couple of years, been smoking/dehydrating/grinding jalapenos into a powder. I then sprinkle the powder over the fresh smoked bacon. Nice bite, flavor a little like chipotle pepper but not quite. It's better when I vacuum seal the treated bacon and let it permeate the meat for several days.
