For The Grilled Frank

1.

Start by making the pepper jelly: chopping the green pepper, red pepper, and a few jalapeños and don’t remove seeds to keep that heat. Put into a food processor until it’s at a salsa-like consistency.

Green Pepper

1 Green Pepper

Red Pepper

1 Red Pepper

Jalapeños

3 Jalapeños

2.

In a medium bowl, add granulated sugar and pectin powder, then whisk together and set aside.

Granulated Sugar

2 cups Granulated Sugar

Pectin Powder

3 tsp Pectin Powder

3.

In a medium saucepan combine chopped peppers and white vinegar, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. In the meantime heat up a giant pot of water with two canning jars inside.

White Vinegar

1 cup White Vinegar

4.

Once the peppers have simmered for 10 minutes, add the sugar pectin mixture, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for about 15 minutes.

5.

Then take the canning jars out of the hot, but not boiling water, and set on towel. Fill with pepper mixture, leaving a ¼ inch headspace at the top of the jar. Go ahead and wipe the jars and place lids on top.

6.

Gently place the jars into the big pot with enough boiling water to cover them completely. Boil for 10 minutes.

7.

Safely remove and see if the caps have popped down yet, indicating that a vacuum has been created; however it might take a few minutes after removing from water. Let jars cool overnight.

8.

For The Crepe Batter

1.

In a blender, add eggs, whole milk, water, all-purpose flour, and melted butter. Pulse that together about 10 times, making sure it’s smooth and homogeneous. Let chill in fridge for at least 45 minutes up to overnight so there are no bubbles.

Eggs

2 Eggs

Whole Milk

¾ cup Whole Milk

Water

½ cup Water

All Purpose Flour

1 cup All Purpose Flour

Melted Butter

3 tbsp Melted Butter

2.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Cover an oven pan with foil and place a rack on top to cook the meat. Then place various meats including thick cut bacon, breakfast sausages, and some thin slices of spam on top. Cook in oven for 20-25 minutes until brown and crisp.

4.

Fill the crepes with a couple pieces of each of the meats and wrap like a burrito.
