directions

  • soak figs in hot water for 15 minutes, or until hydrated and soft.
  • Trim fat from bacon, so only 1/3 or less of the bacon is fat.
  • Bake or fry bacon until half done,edges curl but still soft.
  • Drain bacon on paper towel.
  • Wrap each fig with bacon and secure with toothpick.
  • Broil assembled appetizers in oven, until bacon is crispy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Watch it, so bacon does not burn.
  • Serve as an appetizer with red wine.
  • The coombination of sweet jammy center with crispy salty bacon is a crowd pleaser.

  1. I was given this at a dinner party last night and thought it was sensational! I couldn't understand how the figs were so soft-It didn't occur to me I needed to soak them until I read your instructions. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. These were good but perhaps I didn't rehydrate the figs enough as they were dry. I'd like to try with fresh figs or even prunes or dates or dried apricots or a mixed platter? Good flavor mix. Thanks for the idea to play around with.
