Stir in chopped bacon, vinegar, Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper to taste. In a jellyroll pan filled with a layer of rock salt to balance the shells, arrange clam meat on the reserved shells. Top each clam with the bell pepper mixture. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through. Serve clams on a platter lined with a layer of rock salt.
