Sweet and Sour Bacon Wrapped Pineapple

By Susan52

Sweet and Sour Bacon wrapped pineapple is a spin on the classic bacon wrapped water chestnuts with a twist. Healthy, easy and delicious!

Ingredients

• SAUCE:
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup reduced-sugar Ketchup
• 1/4 cup chili sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup sugar free grape jelly
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
• PINEAPPLE:
• 5 strips of turkey bacon
• 1/2 of a 20 ounce tin pineapple chunks, drained (about 30 chunks)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

Line a small baking tray with parchment paper.

In a medium sauce pan on high heat, combine all the sauce ingredients.

Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly.

Once the sauce begins to boil, turn the heat down to medium and let the sauce simmer until it begins to thicken, about 5-10 minutes.

While the sauce simmers, slice each piece of bacon in half and then each half into 3. This would make each strip of bacon equal 6 strips.

Dry the pineapple chunks between two pieces of paper towel and wrap each with one bacon strip, securing with a toothpick.

Spread the pineapple chunks out onto the prepared baking tray, and pour the sauce evenly over top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the sauce is sticky and thick and the bacon is fully cooked.
