Bacon Chestnuts
Ingredients:
1 lb Bacon, cured, raw, thick slices, 12/lb, cut each slice in half, crosswise
1 canned water chestnuts, drain well (8 oz can)
Preparation:
Slice each piece of bacon in half and wrap around a water chestnut. Skewer with toothpick to hold in place. Broil in toaster oven or conventional oven, turning every 5 minutes, until the bacon is evenly cooked. This can take up to 25 minutes.
Note: Thick slices of turkey bacon can be used as well. These chestnuts are broiled in the oven, not roasted "on an open fire," but they make a great holiday appetizer anyway!
