To begin making Bacon Wrapped Cherries I drained some maraschino cherries on some paper towel.

Then I took some partially cooked bacon out of the fridge.  You could use raw bacon and double the cooking time.

Next I cut the bacon slices in half.

Then I placed one of the cherries on the 1/2 slice of bacon.

I wrapped the bacon around the cherry and then held it in place with a toothpick.

Then I transferred the wrapped cherries to a small baking pan.

Before baking in the oven I poured some of the reserved cherry juice over the bacon wraps in the baking pan.

Then I placed the baking pan in a preheated 375F oven for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes I removed the baking pan from the oven.

You could serve the Bacon Wrapped Cherries straight from the pan or transfer them to a serving tray.

This quick and simple appetizer is a great addition to any gathering or event.

Bacon Wrapped Cherries are sure to be enjoyed by young and old alike.
