Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 large dried apricots
12 smoked almonds
4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thirds
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped chives, for garnish

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.

Provided by Bergy

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 24 Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 slices bacon, cut in half
24 dried apricot halves
1/2 cup plum jam
1/4 cup soy sauce

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.

Conclusion:

Apricot glazed bacon spirals are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party.
