Ingredients
- 24 pieces fresh cherries
- 12 pieces pineapple chunks
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 12 pieces bacon strips
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 24 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each bacon strip in half to create 24 shorter pieces.
Pit the cherries, if not already pitted, using a cherry pitter or small knife.
Fill the hollow of each cherry with a small amount of cream cheese using a spoon or piping bag.
Cut each pineapple chunk in half, so you have 24 small pieces.
Place one pineapple piece on top of each cream cheese-filled cherry.
Wrap each cherry and pineapple combination with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
In a small bowl, mix the honey and soy sauce together to create a glaze.
Brush each bacon-wrapped cherry lightly with the honey-soy glaze.
Place the wrapped cherries on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Hawaiian Cherry Poppers!
