- Rub the pork tenderloin with Creole seasoning. Sear the tenderloin in a minimal amount of oil in a cast iron skillet just until a crust forms. Place the tenderloin in the refrigerator, then cut into ¼" by 2" strips.
- Wrap each piece of pork tenderloin around a slice of pickled jalapeño, then wrap a piece of bacon around the pork. Skewer the poppers with a bamboo skewer.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature. Once soft, mix in the herbs and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cane syrup and vinegar to a small sauce pot and heat over a medium flame until the syrup-vinegar mixture is reduced by half.
- Grill the skewers of poppers until the bacon is crispy and slightly charred.

Smear some cream cheese in a line on a plate. Remove the poppers from the skewer and place on top of the cream cheese. Drizzle the cane syrup and vinegar mix over the poppers and enjoy.
