Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple

The ideal combination of sweet, smoky and savory, this bacon-wrapped pineapple is yet another stop on the bacon-loving journey we’ve been traveling on for some time now. What is a more party-friendly, crowd-pleasing ingredient than crispy, salty bacon? Whether you wrap something in it or toss it in a recipe, you’re almost guaranteed to have a crowd of people fighting over whatever bacon-delivery system you're pairing it with. In this case, the smoked pineapple does nothing but enhance the inherent sweet-smokiness of the bacon, while providing plenty of acidity and juicy sweetness to cut the fat-predominant flavors of the bacon. A match made in bacon-loving heaven.
