  • 1/4 c

How To Make mock rumaki

  • 1
    Cook bacon until 2/3 to 3/4 done, then cut strips into thirds. Soak Tooth Picks in Water.
  • 2
    Open the pitted Dates enough to stuff with a small wedge of Pineapple cut from the rings.
  • 3
    Wrap with prepared Bacon and secure with Tooth Picks you have soaked in water. Dip and roll in the Brown sugar. Place on foil lined cookie sheet or pizza platter.
  • 4
    Bake at 350 degrees for 30/40 minutes. Turn pieces half way through cooking to assist in preventing sticking. Brown Sugar and Sugar in Dates is prone to sticking.
  • 5
    When Bacon appears crisp remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Scrape from foil with spatula if necessary.

    These go fast and are a welcomed surprise to guests. My sister is renowned for her Rumaki at our Holiday Gatherings. So, I got a sideways glance when I first arrived with these. All was forgiven when she realized I wasn't a Total Copycat.
