Bacon-Wrapped Chestnuts
This recipe usually comes out at Christmas and New Years. I wondered if anyone may be interested because of the Super Bowl coming up in a week or so. You could probably make this just from reading the title or looking at the pictures, pretty simple stuff – and pretty darn tasty.
Cut a package of bacon in half. (You don’t have to arrange them in a lattice pattern like this unless you want your spouse to tease you too.) Drain 1 can (8 oz.) whole water chestnuts and 1 small can pineapple tidbits.
Wrap each chestnut and tidbit with a half-slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick, and place in a 9X9 baking dish. Combine 1 cup barbecue sauce with 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup grape jelly, pour over and around wraps.
Bake covered at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes; uncover and bake 10 minutes more.
Bacon and barbecue sauce – yum!
