Download PDFReserve 4 tablespoons of the maraschino cherry syrup.
Start threading the skewers with 1 maraschino cherry then fold and thread 3 slices of beef bacon. Repeat this pattern two more times, ending with a maraschino cherry. You should have 4 cherries and 9 slices of bacon per skewer.
Place the assembled skewers in a shallow dish and pour over the cherry syrup. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally to ensure even marination. Reserve any leftover marinade.
Preheat a grill or braai to medium heat. Grill the skewers, turning frequently and basting with the leftover syrup as they cook, until the bacon is crisp and caramelised to your liking.
Serve hot as a smoky, sweet-savoury snack or side dish.
