Ingredients

  • 36 maraschino cherries, stemmed, drained and juice reserved

  • 18 slices bacon slices, halved

  • 36 toothpicks

Directions

  1. Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  2. Wrap each cherry with a bacon half, secure with a toothpick, and arrange on a baking sheet. Drizzle reserved cherry juice over wrapped cherries.

  3. Broil in the preheated oven until bacon is crisped to your liking, 3 to 10 minutes.

Tips

Cooking time may be increased if you want the bacon crisp, but I think that the bacon is better soft.

Although I have never tried it, I imagine that this recipe would also be good on a grill with a grate small enough that the cherries don't fall through.
