  • ¼ cup honey

  2. Cut bacon strips in half width-wise.3. Put brown sugar on a large (dinner-size) plate.4. Wrap each pineapple chunk with bacon.

  5. Place rolls on several thicknesses of paper toweling for just 1 minute, then transfer to serving platter.

  7. For the Honey-Sriracha Dipping Sauce, place all ingredients in a jar and shake till well-combined.
NOTES
Can be made ahead. Refrigerate until ready to be used. 
* Cut pineapple into rectangular chunks slightly smaller than the width of your bacon.
** Sriracha is a delicious hot sauce that's available in the Asian section of most larger grocery stores.
*** Cilantro stems are the most flavorful part of the herb. Finely sliced cilantro stems are wonderful for fresh sauces, since they don't wilt like the leaves do when combined with liquid ingredients.Makes 20 appetizers.
