BACON SKEWERS WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line a lipped baking sheet with foil. (Note: It's important that you use a lipped baking sheet.) Place a metal rack on bottom of the prepared baking sheet if desired.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple juice and cinnamon. Set aside. (The sugar will settle to become more liquid within a few minutes.)
- Take the bacon from the package and thread the bacon onto skewers. Place the bacon skewers evenly on the foiled-covered baking sheet. Use a spoon, fork or basting brush to spread a generous amount of the glaze onto both sides of the bacon skewers. (Make sure to get each side so that the whole bacon skewer is evenly covered with glaze.) Place the baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 20 min. or until the bacon is cooked to your liking. (Note that 20 min. should get the bacon skewers nice and crisped up.)
- Take the bacon skewers out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Serve on a platter or my favorite - in a vase as a centerpiece. Enjoy!

Tips:
- For a crispier bacon skewer, cook the bacon until it is well-done.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- To make the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the sugar constantly to prevent it from burning.
- If you are using chocolate chips to make the ganache, use a high-quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
- To make the ganache, heat the cream until it is just simmering and then pour it over the chocolate chips.
- Let the ganache cool for 5 minutes before stirring it until it is smooth and creamy.
- To assemble the skewers, simply thread the bacon, bananas, and strawberries onto the skewers.
- Drizzle the skewers with caramel sauce and ganache and serve immediately.
