Not exactly chestnuts roasting on an open fire... but it's a lot more tasty!

  • I use only 1/2 a bacon slice for each water chestnut then pour a generous dollop of duck sauce (apricot or peach flavor work best) over each bacon-wrapped water chestnut. Bake or broil until bacon is crispy. The duck sauce adds a wonderfully sweet layer of taste that has been popular with my guests for many years.

  • Forget the sugar, just use Ponzu sauce (it is more flavorful than soy sauce and is used for dumplings). I would cut the bacon slice in half. You couldn't eat more than a few (too much salt and fat). Sounds delicious though!!!!

  • Ignore the last comment. to make this even more intersting make a sweet sour sauce using 20 ounces of Ketchup, 1cup shite sugar, and 1cup Brown sugar in a 2 at. pan simmer till all sugar is dissolved. pour over warm chestmnuts and serrve. Even children love this. take it from a grandm,other of 9 and great grandmother of 3. This also workd great on Cocktai smoked weiners.

  • I have been making these for years. The day before, I mix 1 cup Soy Sauce and 1 cup of Sugar. Let water chestnuts marinate overnight before wrapping in bacon.
