1 lb. bacon
1 can large chunk pineapple
1/2 c. brown sugar
Set your oven to 375F.
Cut the pound of bacon in half. Put the brown sugar in a shallow bowl. Take a half a slice of bacon and dredge it through the brown sugar. Put a chunk of pineapple on one end of the bacon slice and roll up. Secure with a toothpick.
Put a cookie cooling rack into a foil-lined jelly roll pan. Lay the bacon pineapple bundles onto the rack.
Bake for at least 25 minutes, or until the bacon looks brown and crispy. You can pop them under the broiler for the last few minutes just to get them really crisp. But watch out – the sugar will burn!

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapenos
20 whole fresh jalapenos, 2-3 inches in size
2 cubes cream cheese, softened
1 pound thin (regular) bacon, sliced into thirds
If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep…
Cut jalapenos in half, length-wise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membrane (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things HOT). Smear softened cream cheese into each jalapeno half. Wrap jalapeno with bacon pieces (1/3 slice). Secure by sticking toothpick through the middle. (At this point, you can freeze them, uncooked, in a Ziploc bag for later use).
Bake on a pan with a rack in a 375-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You don’t want the bacon to shrink so much it starts to the squeeze the jalapeno. If, after 20 minutes, the bacon doesn’t look brown enough, just turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish it off. These are best when the jalapeno still has a bit of bite to it.
Audrey's little note: These are very tasty with this knockoff of Arby's Broncoberry Sauce.
