List of Ingredients




2 cups (1 pound) pitted fresh dates
½ cup water
½ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
Bacon slices, cut in thirds

Recipe



Put dates into a bowl. Blend water, orange juice, vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to boiling, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Pour mixture over dates; cover and let stand until cool. Refrigerate at least 24 hours to allow flavors to blend.

Wrap 2 dates in one-third slice of bacon and skewer with a toothpick; repeat, using all dates. Broil 6 inches from heat 6 to 8 minutes, or until bacon is crisp, turning once.
