Notes
Variations
- Fresh Pineapple - You can use fresh or canned pineapple for this recipe.
- Pineapple - We purchased a whole pineapple and made this recipe. But you can easily purchase fresh pineapple that is already been cut. Whatever works for your family.
- Sweetener - Instead of dipping in brown sugar, drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
- BBQ Sauce - Brush the pineapple with BBQ Sauce for a smokey and tangy flavor.
- Pineapple Size - Instead of cutting your pineapple into bites, you can cut them into pineapple spears. You may need to wrap a full size piece of bacon around the pineapple chunk.
- Brown Sugar - You can use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar.
- Grill - These bacon wrapped pineapple recipe would be great on the grill. It gives the smoky flavor on the grill. I would recommend making pineapple spears instead of bites.
- Bacon – A thick cut bacon works the best in this recipe.
- Secure Bacon – Make sure to secure the bacon with toothpicks. You may even need to use two toothpicks.
- Prepare Baking Sheet - Prepare baking sheet before placing bacon on it. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil as this prevent the bacon from sticking and it easier to clean up.
- Bacon - We cut out bacon into thirds. Depending on how big you cut your pineapple, you may need a larger piece of bacon.
