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.

Number Of Ingredients 3

24 fresh sage leaves
24 large dried apricots
8 slices bacon

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:
