BACON-WRAPPED APRICOT BITES



Bacon-Wrapped Apricot Bites image

I love bacon-wrapped recipes, and these sweet-smoky snacks are easy to make and fun to eat, so be prepared with an extra batch. For a change, sprinkle them with a bit of blue cheese or toasted almonds. -Tammie Floyd, Plano, Texas

APRICOT AND BRANDY JAM



Apricot and Brandy Jam image

This is a very yummy apricot jam, and it makes a lovely gift too. It is not difficult to make, but does take a bit of time. Since dried apricots are used instead of fresh ones, it is a good "snowy day" recipe.

Time 12h40m

Yield 3 Half Pint Jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups dried apricot halves, halved
2 1/2 cups water
1 orange (juice and grated peel)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons brandy or 3 tablespoons cognac

Steps:

  • Combine apricots and water in a bowl, cover, and let stand overnight, or until soft and well plumped (about 12 hours).
  • Combine apricots and their soaking water in saucepan with the orange peel and juice and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and bring to boil, while stirring.
  • Boil gently, stirring often, until the mixture is thick and shiny and begins to clear the sides of the pan when stirred.
  • While mixture thickens, be sure to stir it continually but gently, so that the fruit does not burn or get squashed (about 30 minutes, but may vary).
  • DO NOT ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO COOK DOWN TO A PUREE; it should retain good-sized bits of apricot.
  • Remove the preserve from heat and stir in almond extract and brandy.
  • Ladle into 3 half-pint canning jars, prepared in usual manner and seal with sterilized 2 piece screw-on lids.
  • Cool and let mellow several weeks or more before serving.
