Speckdatteln Bacon-wrapped Dates Recipe


Speckdatteln Bacon-wrapped Dates Recipe
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
  • 30 thin slices bacon
  • 30 whole blanched almonds (optional)
  • 30 round toothpicks (may not be necessary)
  • Spice mixture 1:
  • Garlic salt - about a teaspoonful
  • Fresh-ground black pepper - about half that
  • Ground red pepper or milder paprika - a teaspoonful if paprika, otherwise half that
  • Spice mixture 2:
  • Onion salt - about a teaspoonful
  • Ground ginger - about a teaspoonful
  • Fresh-ground black pepper - half that

Directions
  1. Stuff each date with an almond if using.
  2. Choose your spice mixture and mix well in a flat pan or pie pan.
  3. Coat each bacon strip on one side with spice mixture.
  4. Roll bacon around date, spice mixture outwards.
  5. Lay seam-side down on a plate as you make them.
  6. When they are all wrapped, place carefully on a broiler pan.
  7. If the bacon won't stay wrapped, use toothpicks to secure, but it's easier without them.
  8. Broil about 6" from heat, watching carefully and turning, until browned and sizzling on all sides.
  9. You can make them in a frying pan but they ted to burn more easily then, and don't get quite as crisp.
  10. Serve warm and wait for raves.
