Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos

This is a Pioneer Woman recipe, it's simple but so very good, and actually the hubby is the official maker of the jalapeno thingys in our house, and he's pretty good at it too! the red sauce is a homemade version of the bronco berry sauce that Arby's serves with their jalapeno poppers. The hubby has always loved this sauce so when we started making these wrapped jalapenos he wanted to try and find a recipe for the Arby's sauce and everytime we serve them at a party we get tons of compliments and people asking for the recipe.
