Overview

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 16

Ingredients

• Pineapple
• Barbecue Sauce: about 1/3 cup
• Bacon 8 slices or about 1/2 pound

Instructions

• Cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Cut the bacon slices in half.
• Roll the bacon around each chunk of pineapple.
• Set each bacon-wrapped pineapple piece onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure the pineapple chunk is on top of the ends of the bacon so the bacon doesn't come undone while it bakes.
• Put the baking sheet into a cold oven, then turn the temperature up to 400F. Bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and brush the bacon with barbecue sauce. Return to the oven and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through.
• Add a toothpick to each one. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes: Try to find a sweet barbecue sauce. Honey, Hawaiian, or chicken and rib sauce work well. Avoid sauces that have strong flavors or "garlic" in the name.
