BACON-WRAPPED DRIED APRICOTS
Steps:
- Gently separate the two sides of each apricot and stuff with the almonds. Wrap each with a segment of the bacon. Arrange in a small nonstick skillet seam-side down. Cook on medium heat until the undersides are well-browned and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Turn the apricots over and continue to cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the maple syrup, vinegar and a few grinds of pepper and cook, shaking the skillet to coat, until the liquid has reduced and the apricots are glossy and browned all over, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a small plate and sprinkle with the chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.
- Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around an apricot half, secure with a toothpick.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is brown & crisp.
- Turn once during baking.
- While the bacon is cooking mix the jam & soy sauce in a saucepan and cook over low heat until the jam has melted and mixed with the soy sauce.
- Remove bacon/apriots from oven and place on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Serve dipping sauce with the bacon-apricot appetizers.
Tips:
- Choose thick-cut bacon for this recipe, as it will hold up better to being spiraled and baked.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can cook the bacon to your desired doneness by checking the color of the glaze. When the glaze is a deep golden brown and the bacon is slightly caramelized, it is done.
- To make the glaze, you can use either apricot preserves or apricot jelly. If you use jelly, you may need to add a little bit of water to thin it out.
- You can also add other flavors to the glaze, such as a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Serve the bacon spirals hot or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or as a side dish with chicken, pork, or fish.
