Bacon & Fruit Brunch Kabobs (The easiest no-recipe tricks!)
Description
This recipe involves threading bacon slices in a wavy pattern along soaked bamboo skewers, which prevents the bacon from resting in its own fat and promotes even cooking. The skewers are placed on parchment-lined trays and baked in a cold oven that is then set to 400°F, cooking the bacon for about 12-15 minutes until crisp but not burnt. Monitoring after 12 minutes helps avoid overbrowning.
The mixed berries are tossed separately in a simple syrup made from water, sugar, lemon juice, and minced optional mint, lightly coating the fruit for brightness and freshness. These berries can then be skewered and served alongside the bacon kabobs or threaded on the same skewers for contrast.
These kabobs combine the saltiness and crispiness of bacon with the tart and sweet notes from the berry mixture, suitable for easy brunch or finger food occasions. The assembly approach requires minimal measuring or precise recipe steps, favoring flexible preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon (usually 16-20 slices in a pound)
- 2 pounds mixed berries
- 36 bamboo skewers
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon mint optional, minced
Instructions
- Soak your bamboo used for the bacon for an hour or so.
- Thread the bacon onto the skewers.
- For the best look I usually make it pretty wavy, this also prevents the bacon from sitting completely in the rendered fat.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and put the skewers on the sheet.
- Without preheating, put the bacon in the oven.
- Turn the oven onto 400 degrees and set your timer for 12 minutes.
- The bacon will take anywhere from 12-15 minutes to cook, but after 12 minutes it is a good idea to keep an eye on it as you don't want it to burn and the last bit of browning happens pretty quickly.
- For the berries, mix the water, sugar, lemon juice and mint and toss the berries in it.
- Skewer as you wish on the bamboo sticks.
- Try to save some for the guests :)
