Bacon Wrapped Peaches are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. Juicy, ripe peach slices are wrapped in crispy, smoky HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Original Thick Cut Bacon and then grilled or baked to perfection. The natural sweetness of the peaches pairs beautifully with the salty, savory bacon, creating a mouthwatering treat that’s perfect as an appetizer or a unique side dish.
