Pineapple Bacon Rollups
This is a simple appetizer recipe that can be made ahead of time and popped in the oven before your company arrives. Be sure and make a bunch! These things always go fast!
Ingredients
- 1 pound of pastured uncured bacon, cut in half (find healthy bacon here if you don't have a local source)
- Bite-sized pieces/chunks of pineapple I used canned – save the juice
- Maple syrup
- Unrefined sugar if desired
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Wrap uncooked bacon around the pieces of pineapple and hold it together with a toothpick, set them in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Drizzle a little of the pineapple juice on top and a little real maple syrup. I also sprinkle on some organic palm/coconut sugar or organic granulated sugar – the more sweetener you use, the more caramelized it gets, but even with a light amount it's still really good because the pineapple is sweet, too. Bake 375* for 30 minutes until hot and caramelized. I like it almost burned, but not quite.
