Recipe Introduction
My Mother tells me this is an old appetizer recipe used in Cuba in the early 40's and 50's. It was served on a doily topped glass platter for dinner parties. For Christmas Buffet tables, they were attached with toothpicks onto a cone shaped foam form resembling a Christmas tree. The form was wrapped first in foil. Whatever the occasion, these are the first appetizers to disappear and usually guests are surprised at what they are. They are simply irrisistable!!
List of Ingredients
2 boxes of pitted dates
2 packages of bacon
Recipe
Cut bacon package in half, wrap a date in a bacon half and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, halfway thru baking turn them around so they bake completely. Drain, let them cool and arrange on a pretty dish with toothpicks.
