Bacon Chestnut Tidbits

These make a really yummy and inexpensive appetizer! They remind me of our annual ward memorial day picnics that we had every year in Cincinnati.

1 lb. bacon (good quality)
2 cans whole water chestnuts
1 c. ketchup
½ c. sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut each raw bacon strip into four pieces. Wrap each piece of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Place on a jelloy roll pan and bake for 10 minutes. Drain fat and place bacon-wrapped tidbits in casserole dish. Mix ketchup, sugar, and soy sauce and pour over top of tidbits, avoiding toothpick tops. Cover and bake for 15 minutes more. Serve warm on a platter. Makes approximately 72 pieces.
