Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
8-10 slices of bacon
1 cup mango chutney (Bergie’s Colonel Grey’s Chutney)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil, preferably non-stick foil, for easy cleanup.

2. Wrapping:

Begin by peeling and slicing the bananas into bite-sized pieces.
Roll the banana pieces in the fresh lemon juice, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Take each slice of bacon and wrap it around the outside edge of a banana piece, securing it in place with a toothpick.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped bananas on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

3. Baking:

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the bacon is almost cooked.

4. Prepare the Chutney:

While the bacon-wrapped bananas are baking, prepare the chutney.
In a blender, add the mango chutney and blend until it reaches a fine consistency. You can use the pulse function to achieve the desired texture.

5. Coating and Finishing:

Once the bacon is almost cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Dip each bacon-wrapped banana piece into the blended chutney, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Return the coated banana pieces to the oven and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and golden.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Carefully remove the bacon wrapped chutney bananas from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two.
Caution: They will be very hot!
Serve these delectable treats as a delightful appetizer or a unique party snack. Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
