Almond Stuffed Dates Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED DATES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stuff each date with 1 to 2 almonds. Wrap each date with half a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake, turning the dates halfway through so the bacon is evenly cooked, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ALMOND STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• Carefully remove the pits from the dates, replacing each one with a whole almond.
• Pour the honey into a heavy saucepan and place it on low heat.
• When the honey is liquid, add the cinnamon and pepper; stir well.
• Put the stuffed dates in the honey and stir gently to coat. Leave on very low heat for 5 minutes until the dates are hot. Watch the sauce so that it doesn't boil or even simmer.
• Serve warm, or let cool and eat. Enjoy!

SMOKED ALMOND STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• Cut a slit into each date. Set the nuts into the dates with the nuts resting lengthwise on the dates. The shapes of the almond and date are similar. Don't wedge the nut too deep. It should rest half-in and half-out of the date. Arrange filled fruit on a small serving plate.

BACON WRAPPED DATES WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Stuff each date with one almond.
• Cut bacon into half or thirds.
• Wrap bacon around date and secure with a round toothpick.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place dates on a foil lined (they are messy and this makes them much easier to clean up) baking pan and cook until bacon is crispy (around 15 minutes).
• Drain on paper towel and serve warm or room temperature.
• Watch them disappear!

BACON AND DATE APPETIZER

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Slit dates. Place one almond inside each date. Wrap dates with bacon, using toothpicks to hold them together.
• Broil 10 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown and crisp.
