These are a delicious appetizer. Sweet and crunchy. Give them a try, they are really good. I got this recipe from a friend, not sure where they got it from. Ingredients:
4 (4 ounce) cans water chestnuts |
2 lbs bacon |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup vinegar |
1 cup water, plus |
2 tablespoons cold water |
2 teaspoons black pepper |
1/2 tablespoon salt |
4 tablespoons pimientos |
4 teaspoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Cut bacon slices in half.
2. Drain waterchestnuts.
3. Wrap bacon around each waterchestnut and secure with a toothpick.
4. In a medium sauce pan, combine sugar, vinegar, 1 c water, pepper, salt and pimentos. Boil for 5 minutes.
5. Mix cornstarch with the 2 T of cold water. Dissolve and add to sauce to slightly thicken sauce.
6. Place wrapped waterchestnuts in cake pan (or pan of your choice that sauce will not run over in). Pour sauce over waterchestnuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
