Original Recipe Yield 20 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 20 pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese
  • 20 ounces pecans
  • 10 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Slice open the dates, and stuff each with about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese. Top each date with a pecan, using the goat cheese to hold the pecans in place. Wrap each date with 1/2 slice bacon.
  3. Arrange the wrapped dates on a baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bacon is crisp and evenly brown.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the balsamic vinegar and sugar until thickened. Pour over the dates to serve.
