Very tasty side dish. I love all the favor. It hits all the right notes!

We loved this! Like KITTENCAL, I increased the bacon. I also omitted the jalepanos and used only half the brown sugar (personal taste preferences). Thank you, Pokey, for sharing this superbly flavoursome recipe; I'll certainly be making it again.

This is the spinach I grew up with. Just add some cornbread, black-eyed peas, and mashed potatoes and you have heavan on earth.

I normally don't like spinach-based dishes, but this is an exception. It has everything--sweet, sour, spicy and salty. I used fresh spinach. Will make this again and use gloves to handle the jalapenos. The heat was just right, but my fingers were stinging afterwards!
