My family is extremely active and we take trips that involve the outdoors, and not just going to the beach. The last couple of years our big trips were to Alaska and a dude ranch in Wyoming. These trips we could not take our dog, but any chance we get we take her outside hiking or for a swim at the nearby river. We often will plan a vacation with her in mind as she loves to swim and hike with us.

Living in the South the past 17 years has brought about a lot of new experiences which includes having quail meat in my freezer. I have never eaten or prepared game meat before so this has been a brand new experience.

The best cooking solution for quail is wrapping it in bacon. Everything tastes better with a little bacon. We have had a few quail dinner parties and our guests really enjoy this Grilled Quail with Bacon and Pepper Jelly Recipe that is easier than you would imagine. Fortunately for this Midwestern girl, our quail comes cleaned and packaged in airtight bags. In reality, once quail is dressed, the actual meat portion is very small and plan on at least two per person for an appetizer and four quail per person as an entree. ** Dressed means all the feather etc taken off. 

Be sure to secure the bacon with a toothpick so it stays together on the grill. 

Salt and pepper the quail and splatter some Red Pepper Jelly for an extra flavor punch. 

Grill the quail for about ten minutes on each side but be sure to reglaze each side when your turn the quail. 

Grill your quail on indirect heat as you don’t want the bacon burning before the quail meat is cooked.

  Game bird is not for everyone but does make for a fun party.
