Growing up, there was an appetizer that I vaguely remember having which was essentially bites of pineapple wrapped in bacon. Sure – that sounds tasty but what if you take it up a notch? I saw a recipe for bacon pineapple appetizers in a Hawaiian cookbook that basically said “take pineapple, put in bacon with water chestnut and broil” and that was it. To me, while simple, it didn’t have that za za zu factor.
Good thing I have lots of pineapple at my house because it took a few tries to get these Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites “just right” – it’s sweetly salty with a slight kick of heat. I have to warn you, these do take a bit of time to assemble but it’s worth it. One bite of these Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites and your guests will go crazy. Just don’t get mad at me if you find yourself hiding a couple of these so the guests can’t find your secret stash.
On to the recipe:
Gather your ingredients
Nothing like fresh pineapple
Let’s assemble
Brushing with a bit of that spicy sweet glaze
Now this is a sweet salty bite
Try to have just one
