Bacon Wrapped Waterchestnuts With Pineapple

---

These are my favorite version of this popular appetizer. the addition of pineapple adds a nice sweetness. these appetizers are always the first to go whenever i serve them. i've had good look pre-baking them and serving them warm in a crock-pot or just reheating in the microwave if you want to make them ahead of time.

Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hours optional: stir once to distribute the rendered bacon fat which will help the bacon crisp up.
