Easy, easy appetizer. The salty, chewiness of the bacon makes a good combination with the sweetness of the pineapple and the brown sugar. 1 whole pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks (the original recipe called for canned pineapple, so that is an option, but fresh pineapple is so much better; actually, I used pre-cut fresh pineapple from Costco) 1 pound thin-sliced bacon, cut in half 3 to 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap each chunk of pineapple in a half strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a wire baking rack or lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with brown sugar. Preheat broiler. Place the pan under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep your eyes on the pineapple bites so they don't burn. Let cool slightly and serve. Makes 25 pineapple bites.

I have still decided to continue with a summer recipe, Pineapple is a great summer fruit well to be honest we don't really get native fresh pineapple in the U.K.But it is coming soon surely. In the mean time we are going to be using tinned pineapple which I do adore,also in this recipe I'm using low fat natural yogurt which has so many uses and health benefits, some of which I never even realized .So I thought  I would try and enlighten you by giving you a couple of these benefits that could enhance your well being. 1. Yogurt is easier to digest than milk. Many people who cannot tolerate milk, either because of a protein allergy or lactose intolerance, can enjoy yogurt. T...
