Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: Look for pineapple with a deep golden-yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pineapple with green or brown spots.
- Use thick-cut bacon: Thick-cut bacon will hold up better when wrapped around the pineapple and will provide more flavor.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy when wrapped around the pineapple.
- Use brown sugar or maple syrup: These ingredients will help to caramelize the pineapple and bacon and give them a sweet and smoky flavor.
- Cook the pineapple and bacon until it is heated through: This will help to ensure that the pineapple is cooked through and the bacon is safe to eat.
