Ingredients

• 20 wooden toothpicks
• 20 dates, pitted and left whole
• 20 whole smoked almonds
• 10 bacon slices, cut in half crosswise
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 0.75 cup dark brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is brown and crisp, 15 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving; serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Soak toothpicks in a bowl of water. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Mix soy sauce and ground ginger together in a bowl. Place brown sugar into a separate bowl. Spread open a pitted date, then stuff it with a smoked almond. Wrap date with half a bacon slice; secure with a toothpick, then dip the bundle in soy sauce mixture, then into brown sugar. Place wrapped dates into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle a little more brown sugar over the bundles.
