This recipe is from Tasty Kitchen and I had very high hopes for it!  Sadly, it was not all that I was hoping it would be.  What a bummer!  If I try to make these again, I’ll omit the brown sugar and just wrap the bacon around the pineapple without the added sweetness.  I’ll also probably halve the recipe and just use half of a pineapple and one package of bacon.

If you wish to spare your dishwasher, remember to line the baking sheets with tinfoil before putting the wire racks inside of them!  Sorry about that, Lance.
