Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts

I was glancing through my last issue of Taste of Home magazine, saw this recipe and remembered your request. It seems to be what you were looking for.

BACON-WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS

8 strips bacon
2 cans (8 ounces each) whole water chestnuts, drained
3/4 cup ketchup
1 jar (2-1/2 ounces) strained peach baby food
1/4 cup sugar
dash salt

Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise and then in half widthwise. Wrap each bacon piece around a water chestnut; secure with a toothpick. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes, turning once; drain if necessary.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Drizzle over water chestnuts. Bake 25-35 minutes longer or until bacon is crisp. Serve warm. Yield: 32 appetizers
