Rumaki is a classic appetizer or party food that combines the sweet and savory flavors of pineapple, bacon, and water chestnuts. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This article provides two delicious recipes for rumaki: a traditional version and a spicy version.
The traditional rumaki recipe uses pineapple chunks, water chestnuts, and bacon. The pineapple and water chestnuts are skewered together, then wrapped with bacon and secured with a toothpick. The skewers are then baked until the bacon is crispy and the pineapple is caramelized.
The spicy rumaki recipe adds a kick of heat with the addition of chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. The skewers are also brushed with a sweet and spicy glaze before baking.
Both recipes are easy to follow and can be made in under an hour. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day snacks. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, teriyaki sauce, or ranch dressing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Soak some toothpicks in water as you prepare the other ingredients so they don't burn in the oven.
- Mix together the brown sugar and mustard until combined. Set aside.
- Cut the bacon strips in half (right in the middle), and spread evenly with the brown sugar and mustard. It's okay if it's a little messy.
- Wrap each water chestnut with a half bacon strip and roll it up, securing the bacon with a toothpick.
- Place all of the bacon wrapped water chestnuts onto a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until the bacon has cooked through and the brown sugar has caramelized. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Clean/remove as much excess from the livers as possible while keeping the livers as "Large" as possible.
- Cutaway pieces that do not look like something you'd like to eat. Use a small knife and make small cuts where needed trying to keep the liver in tactic.
- Combine the soy sauce, chopped garlic, brown sugar, and chopped ginger into a large bowl.Add the livers to the marinate. Place into the refrigerator for one hour.
- Slice the bacon in half lengthwise. You do not want to use too much bacon or the cooking time will be longer. Which risks overcooking the livers or beef, or chicken.Cutting the bacon strips in half will make it easy to wrap each chicken liver tightly.
- Lay one piece of bacon flat on a cutting board. Take a slice of water chestnut and place it at one end of the bacon strip. Add a piece of liver on top of the water chestnut. Tip: Add small slices of jalapeno
- Next, roll the bacon starting at the end with the liver and roll the bacon on top of itself. No rules on how you wrap. Another option is wrapping the bacon in circles all around the liver.Secure with toothpicks
- Place the rumaki on a cookie sheet. Or, I like using a wire rack so the rumaki isn't touching the cookie sheet. It helps crisp things up nicely.Bake @ 375 for 15 to 20 minutes
- Add the glaze of choice after cooking. Use a paintbrush or spoon to cover.
- Then place the rumaki back into the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to set the glaze.

RUMAKI
Rumaki first became popular during the "Tiki Bar" era of the mid-20th century -- a trend that managed to stick around for decades, because trends used to be able to do that. Nowadays food trends can last for mere hours, but with enough support we can bring rumaki back into the spotlight for weeks, or maybe even months! After all, a dish that's this good is never really out of style.

BACON WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS (RUMAKI)
This recipe is slightly different from the ones already posted here on 'Zaar. It was given to me by a very dear friend who is no longer with us. Everytime I make it, I think of her. Thanks, Diane. NOTE: The size can for the water chestnuts is estimated (I don't have any in my cupboard today).

Steps:
- Open can of water chestnuts and drain. Place the water chestnuts on paper towel and let air dry. If you're in a hurry, you may also pat them dry with paper towel.
- Cut each strip of bacon in thirds.
- Wrap bacon around water chestnut and secure with toothpick. Repeat until all are wrapped.
- Place bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with cooking spray or lined with tin foil for easy clean up. If using tin foil, go ahead and spray the tin foil with cooking spray, as well.
- Brush each bacon-wrapped water chestnut with your favorite barbeque sauce. **OR** If you are lazy, like me, dump the barbeque sauce into a bowl and just dip each bacon wrapped water chestnut into the barbeque sauce and shake off excess.
- Place on top rack in oven under the broiler. Broil for about 10 minutes. Take them out of the oven and turn them all over. Brush again with barbeque sauce, if desired. Place under the broiler again for about another 10 minutes. You should watch these pretty closely to be sure not to burn. You are looking to cook the bacon through until it crisps.
- Serve and enjoy!

PINEAPPLE RUMAKI
I got this from an appetizer book from many years ago that had three different recipes for Rumaki, but this one was/is my favorite. Sweet yet flavorful. When I bring this parties, everyone LOVES them. They fly off the plate! It's a great finger food and can be made in advance (one or two days max) and refridgerated until it is time to serve. I prefer to serve them hot/warm, but they are just as good when cold.

Steps:
- Combine the french dressing and pineapple chunks in a bag to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Cut each of the bacon slices into three pieces (1 bacon slice=3 small stripes of bacon).
- Preheat your oven to broil and set for 350 degrees.
- After the 15 minutes are up, take the pineapple chunks and wrap them with the bacon and put a wooden toothpick through the bacon and the pineapple to secure the rumaki together.
- Take a baking sheet and put the rumaki onto the baking sheet.
- Broil one side of the rumaki until it looks done, which should be around 6-8 minutes depending on how hot your oven is (if you want the rumaki to be crisper, leave it under the broil for a little longer).
- After the one side of the rumaki is cooked, take the baking sheet out. Grab the toothpick and flip the rumaki to the other side, which is not cooked. (Be careful as the baking sheet will be hot.).
- Put the baking sheet in the oven again. Broil for another 6-8 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Now get ready to serve the rumaki.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Place piece of pineapple in center of each bacon strip, wrap, and secure with toothpick.
- Place rumaki on broiler pan or shallow baking pan and broil, about 5 or 6 inches from heat, until bacon is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Alternatively, bake in 375°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
- To make the water chestnuts easier to slice, freeze them for about 30 minutes before using.
- If you don't have any toothpicks, you can use small skewers to hold the rummaki together.
- Cook the rummaki over medium heat so that the bacon has time to crisp up without burning.
- Serve the rummaki hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Rumaki is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. With its sweet and savory flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give rummaki a try. You won't be disappointed!
