- 1/2 cup of Cheerwine soda
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion

Directions
For Bacon Wrapped Cheerwine Pickle Bites:
- Replace the pickle juice in a jar of pickle slices with Cheerwine, and refrigerate overnight.
- Cut thick-cut bacon slices in half.
- Wrap each pickle slice with a half slice of bacon.
- Sprinkle BBQ Rub (e.g., Cherry Cola BBQ Rub) over the wrapped pickle bites.
- Preheat your Prime Pellet Grill to 350°F.
- Place the bacon-wrapped pickle bites in the smoker and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
For Cheerwine Cherry Jalapeño Chutney Dipping Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of Cheerwine soda, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add 2 cups of pitted cherries (fresh or frozen), 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion, 1 small finely chopped jalapeño, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the cherries to break down slightly and the mixture to thicken.
- Optionally, use an immersion blender to blend the chutney to your desired consistency.
- Remove the chutney from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Allow the chutney to cool and use it as a dipping sauce for your Bacon Wrapped Cheerwine Pickle Bites.
