Equipment

• 36 Toothpicks

Ingredients

• 18 slices thick-cut Hickory Smoked Bacon
• 36 whole Dates
• 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
• Pinch Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Arrange bacon slices on top of the foil.
• Place sheet in the oven. Cook until bacon is 75% cooked (about 12 to 14 minutes).

• Keep the oven on at the same temperature.
• When cooled, cut bacon strips in 1/2.
• Wrap each date with a 1/2 slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
• Place wrapped dates in an oven safe dish or pan (Choose one big and deep enough to include the dates and 3/4 cup sauce you will prepare next.)
• Pour balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a sauce pan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil.
• Pour sauce over the wrapped dates.
• Place in hot oven and bake for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Using tongs, carefully place the wrapped dates on a serving dish or in a cast iron skillet (Choose one deep enough to hold the sauce you will pour over the dates next.)
• Pour sauce from the baking dish over the wrapped dates.
• Serve immediately.
