Ingredients

24 little smokies
12 bacon strips, halved crosswise
12 canned pineapple chunks, halved (or 24 bite-size pieces)
1 / 3 cup (80 ml) teriyaki sauce or 1 / 4 cup (50 g) brown sugar (optional glaze)
Toothpicks

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.  
2. Thread a pineapple piece onto each little smokie (or place pineapple half on top), then wrap with a half strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.  
3. If using, brush lightly with teriyaki sauce or sprinkle with brown sugar for extra glaze.  
4. Bake 15–20 minutes until bacon is crisp and edges of pineapple are caramelized, basting once if using teriyaki.  
5. Serve warm, allowing pineapple juices to mingle with bacon for best flavor.
