Beef oopsies
South African 20 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- Reserve 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.
