When I heard that we would have farm fresh dates in the basket, my first thought was simply how fun it would be to try another new food. I’d recently seen some photos of Bacon Wrapped Dates on Pinterest and I couldn’t wait to try something like that. What fruit or vegetable doesn’t become even more delicious when wrapped in bacon? The dates were incredibly sweet and the salty bacon provided a great balance to each bite.
Because I didn’t want to leave it at that, I reduced some balsamic and drizzled it that over them. I loved the combination of the three best of all. My husband liked them best without the balsamic though. Surprising me most of all, my kids went nuts over these. Both of my older boys thought they were eating candy.
