Ingredients

16 oz whole water chestnuts, (2 cans), drained and rinsed

1½ lb bacon slices, cut into thirds

¾ cup ketchup

⅓ cup white sugar

⅓ cup brown sugar

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp vinegar

1 tbsp soy sauce

fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish, optional

Preparation

Wrap bacon around chestnuts, and use a toothpick to hold it in place. You can cut the bigger water chestnuts in half if needed.

Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until the bacon looks done. Transfer bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to a 9x12-inch cake pan.

Mix the remaining ingredients together in a saucepan, and heat to a boil.

Pour the mixture over the water chestnuts.

Before serving, microwave them or warm them in the oven.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve and enjoy!
