Bacon Wrapped Dates with Balsamic Reduction

Provided by: Mary Younkin
Yields: 0 servings
Number of ingredients: 3

Ingredients:

Medjool Dates
Bacon (cut into 5-6"slices)
Balsamic Vinegar

How to cook:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking tray with foil and set aside. Using a sharp knife, slit the side of each date and remove the pit. Wrap each date in bacon and then stab completely through with a toothpick to hold the bacon in place. (If you don't use a toothpick, the bacon will shrink and slide off of the date as it cooks.) Place wrapped dates on the foil lined sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through and slightly crispy. While the dates are in the oven, pour some balsamic in the bottom of a small saucepan. Turn the heat to medium low and bring to a slow simmer. When the vinegar has reduced by about half, remove from the heat and drizzle over the finished dates. Enjoy!

Cook time: 25 minutes
Yields: 12 servings
Number of ingredients: 5

Ingredients:

12 medjool dates
6 strips of bacon, cut into halves (I used Applewood Smoked Bacon)
3 ounces fresh mozzarella (or other cheese of choice)*
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
10 ounces (1 cup) good-quality balsamic vinegar

How to cook:

Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice date in half without separating halves completely and remove pit. Press 1/4 ounce of cheese into the center of date. Close date and wrap tightly with a half slice of bacon. Roll in brown sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheet with bacon seam-side down and secure with a toothpick if desired. Repeat with remaining dates.**
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, and then flip dates, carefully pressing any loose melted cheese back into the dates as best as possible. Bake another 10-12 minutes, until bacon is crisped all around. Cool slightly and serve with balsamic reduction.
Balsamic Reduction
In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a low boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and simmer until the vinegar has reduced to about 1/4-1/2 of the original amount, or until as thick as desired (Reduce more for drizzling and less for dipping). For me, this took about 25 minutes, although times will vary based on stove differences.
Allow to cool briefly before serving. Serve balsamic reduction in a bowl for dipping or drizzle on dates just before serving. A spoon or a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip can be used for drizzling.

Notes: Bacon-wrapped dates with balsamic reduction, Pour the balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and place on a stovetop on medium-high heat. · Preheat the oven to 425°F. · Once all the dates are

How to cook:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Using a spoon find the opening on the date and fill each one with goat cheese.
Cut the bacon in half and wrap each date with the half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Arrange each date evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven at 10 minutes and tip the toothpicks to the other side and continue to cook for the final 8 minutes.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the brown sugar and maple syrup and continue to simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Pour the maple glaze over the cooked dates and place back into the oven for an additional 3 minutes.

Notes: Bacon-Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese Recipe, Usually, my bacon pieces wrap around the dates 1.5 times. If it's wrapping more than twice around the date, trim your bacon slices so they're a little shorter.
