Bacon-Wrapped Cherries

This recipe for bacon-wrapped cherries makes one of my favorite appetizers. I say it serves 18 people, but if no one stops me, I will eat the whole batch myself and start making more.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

36 maraschino cherries, stemmed, drained and juice reserved
18 slices bacon slices, halved
36 toothpicks

Directions

Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Wrap each cherry with a bacon half, secure with a toothpick, and arrange on a baking sheet. Drizzle reserved cherry juice over wrapped cherries.
Broil in the preheated oven until bacon is crisped to your liking, 3 to 10 minutes.

Cook’s Note

Cooking time may be increased if you want the bacon crisp, but I think that the bacon is better soft.

Although I have never tried it, I imagine that this recipe would also be good on a grill with a grate small enough that the cherries don't fall through.

Roquefort Pear Salad

I love to make this pear salad in the fall or for the holidays! It's tangy from the blue cheese, fruity from the pears, and crunchy from the caramelized pecans. A drizzle of the mustard vinaigrette pulls it all together for a fantastic festive side.

Venison Cheddar Jalapeño Summer Sausage

This venison summer sausage recipe is a nice change. Cheddar and jalapeños add a spicy kick that is sure to please. We serve this at the "Beast Feasts," an annual gathering we host where all the dishes are from wild game. This recipe works well with beef as well.

Apple Streusel Pie

This apple streusel pie is the first on the dessert table to be devoured at any function or festivity! I made this up from a pie I had eaten at a restaurant years ago. This recipe makes two deep dish pies.

Turkey Taco Salad

This is a low fat, low calorie ground turkey taco salad. If you have leftover cooked turkey on hand simply chop it up. You'll need about 3 cups.
