Island Teriyaki Bites
Ingredients
1 (12-ounce) can of SPAM® Lite, diced
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 cups Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade, divided
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well
3 Tbsp chopped green onions
¼ cup finely shredded carrots
½ tsp fresh grated gingerroot
32 Phyllo dough sheets
Butter flavored nonstick cooking spray
2 Tbsp jalapeno jelly, melted

Cooking Directions
Marinate diced SPAM® in 1 cup of the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes. Drain SPAM® and sauté in sesame oil for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the pineapple, green onions, carrots and ginger to the SPAM®. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough onto a clean work surface.* Lightly spray phyllo sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Top with a second sheet of phyllo dough and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Cut each sheet into three 2-inch wide strips. Place about a tablespoon of the SPAM™ mixture on one end of each strip. Fold dough diagonally, up and over the filling until a triangle-shape is formed. Lightly spray the triangle with nonstick spray. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and SPAM®. Place triangles on a lightly sprayed baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Lightly brush each triangle with jalapeño jelly. Serve with remaining teriyaki sauce for dipping. Makes 4 dozen.
