Bacon wrapped Pineapple w/bourbon glaze

[TMB]

Just for the heck of it I tried a pineapple wrapped in bacon. Pineapple cooks really well in TBE, but wanted to see what would happen if I wrapped in bacon.   Here is the cook





Sorry about the file size but I cut them down for another site.

If you think it looks good you need to try it..

Here is the glaze      1 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 4 oz's of bourbon, 1 tbs white sugar, a very small pinch of salt..  Let it simmer till thick then glaze away!!

Here is the glaze       

1 cup pineapple juice,  4 oz bourbon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tbs white sugar and a very lite pinch of salt. 
Let it cook down til it's thick and use.

Now the pineapple was in TBE for about 25 min's before the glaze was added then 10 min's for the glaze to set.
That's it. Darn good if I say so myself!!

No, but after this I will. This recipe came about because of a thread on the Sizzle forum. Everyone started talking about pineapples and this hit me. I think it's one of my better idea that I have had in awhile.

Like I always say toss something at me and you never know what will become of it. ;D

Now, that is unique!   Hmmmmmm I wonder..........smoked pineapple upside down cake.  That don't sound bad!

A few things to know about his recipe.

1-- Use thick bacon, the thin stuff will fall off.
2-- Do not make your glaze at the same time the pineapple cooks (you won't finish in time) make it ahead of time.
3-- Don't glaze till your ready to pull it out, sugar burns very fast in infrared!!!
4-- Let it set up a few min's before cutting and serving.
5-- the ends may not cook all the way so cut them off if need be.
6-- Enjoy one of life's true pleasures Bacon and Pineapple!! 

Y'all have a great week! 

Peace,

TMB
