Tips

  • Choose ripe but firm apricots: This will help them hold their shape when wrapped in bacon and baked.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using: This will prevent them from burning in the oven.
  • Wrap the apricots tightly with bacon: This will help keep the filling inside and prevent the bacon from falling off.
  • Bake the apricots until the bacon is crispy and the apricots are tender: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the apricots warm or at room temperature: They can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even dessert.
