Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites

Bacon. Pineapple. Bites.  A sweet and savory appetizer that tastes both tropical and comfort food-esque.  And yes, I did just make that up!

As you know, I love fruit.  I can easily eat an entire pineapple in a matter of a day or two.  In fact, when I was pregnant I did!  That wives-tale about pineapple causing you to go into labor?  Well, it didn't work for me!  But I sure enjoyed the pineapple.

My friend once told me that the best way to enjoy pineapple is to let the fruit sit in the sun for a few hours to get warm before cutting it up.  This brings out all the juices and it's delicious!

This month I was assigned to Lisa's blog, Authentic Suburban Gourmet, for my Secret Recipe Club assignment.  Lisa's blog isn't new to me as she was assigned to my blog a couple months back and she made her version of my Chunky Chili.

I really enjoyed browsing Lisa's blog and I had a long list of recipes that sounded delicious.  Her Friday Night Bites recipes really stuck out to me because I was on the search for an appetizer to bring to Girl's Night.  I thought I had narrowed my list down, but then I came across the recipe for Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites, and I knew that's what I was going to make.

I had the ingredients already in the house--pretty simple because it's just bacon and pineapple.  I was able to whip these up in just a few minutes.  Mine took nearly double the amount of baking time as the original recipe called for, so I've adjusted that in my directions.  These bites were the perfect combination of sweet and salty; they reminded me of the flavors of Hawaiian Pizza, which happens to be my favorite.  They were also a hit with my cousins, and I have been enjoying the leftovers too.  They're good hot, room temperature, and even cold!
