From hollyeats 14 years ago
- 12 minutes bake time to make
- Serves 6
These disappear from the hors d'ouerves platter first of all at any party I give. An irresistible combination of salty/sweet, crisp/soft and you can vary the spices. Great with cocktails!
Ingredients
- 30 pitted whole dates shopping list
- 30 thin slices bacon shopping list
- 30 whole blanched almonds (optional) shopping list
- 30 round toothpicks (may not be necessary) shopping list
- spice mixture 1: shopping list
- garlic salt - about a teaspoonful shopping list
- Fresh-ground black pepper - about half that shopping list
- ground red pepper or milder paprika - a teaspoonful if paprika, otherwise half that shopping list
- spice mixture 2: shopping list
- onion salt - about a teaspoonful shopping list
- ground ginger - about a teaspoonful shopping list
- Fresh-ground black pepper - half that shopping list
How to make it
- Stuff each date with an almond if using.
- Choose your spice mixture and mix well in a flat pan or pie pan.
- Coat each bacon strip on one side with spice mixture.
- Roll bacon around date, spice mixture outwards.
- Lay seam-side down on a plate as you make them.
- When they are all wrapped, place carefully on a broiler pan.
- If the bacon won't stay wrapped, use toothpicks to secure, but it's easier without them.
- Broil about 6" from heat, watching carefully and turning, until browned and sizzling on all sides.
- You can make them in a frying pan but they ted to burn more easily then, and don't get quite as crisp.
- Serve warm and wait for raves.
