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.

BACON-WRAPPED APRICOTS
Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 375º F. Place a sage leaf on each apricot, wrap with a piece of bacon, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. 2. Bake until the bacon is beginning to crisp, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove from oven and brush with the maple syrup. Serve with toothpicks.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm apricots: This will ensure that they hold their shape when wrapped in bacon and grilled.
- Use a good quality bacon: A thick-cut bacon will provide a nice smoky flavor and crispy texture.
- Wrap the apricots tightly with bacon: This will help to keep the apricots from drying out and also prevent the bacon from falling off.
- Cook the apricots over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bacon from burning and also allow the apricots to cook through.
- Serve the apricots warm: This is when they will be at their best flavor and texture.
