Yes. If you are unfamiliar with the marvel of sweet pickled watermelon rind, I highly recommend you pick up a jar and try some today!
Watermelon Rind Pickles (16 oz Jar)
If you’re more of a do-it-yourself’er than an online shopper, feel free to message me for a recipe. Making sweet pickled watermelon rind takes some time, but is worth it if you enjoy this delicacy as much as I do.
Either way, once you have your sweet pickled watermelon rind, making bacon wrapped appetizers is a SNAP. All you need is a jar of pickled watermelon rind, a pound of sliced bacon, and toothpicks.
First, cut each strip of bacon in half, into two short strips.
Second, wrap each short bacon strip around a piece of pickled watermelon rind, and secure with a toothpick.
Third, place bacon wrapped pieces on a baking sheet with shallow sides. I recommend lining the baking sheet with foil, for easy clean-up!
Fourth, bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until bacon is crispy. Watch carefully so that your bacon wrapped watermelon doesn’t burn!
I can practically guarantee that your party guests will not only find these appetizers delicious, but they’ll make a great conversation starter as well! Enjoy. 🙂
