Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Soak 24 toothpicks in water.

Cut the jalapenos in half and using a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Use kitchen gloves if necessary. If you like a little more heat, leave a few of the seeds.

Smear about a spoonful of cream cheese into the hollowed out jalapenos.

Add a teaspoon or so of jam on top.

Sprinkle some of the shredded cheese on top.

Wrap with a slice of bacon.

Spear with a toothpick.

Place in oven and cook for about 30-35 minutes until the bacon looks crispy. If using fig jam, the coloring of the poppers may appear darker, but they won't be burnt.

Serve immediately.
