Posted by jen at June 22, 2005 12:35 PMJust proves the point that everything goes better with bacon.
Posted by Guru G at June 25, 2005 8:10 PMBless you! This variation on baklava sounds wonderful ... tho I fear I shall make it and do nothing but eat it for several days. So much for the old "to do" list. Thanks.

Top whole cooked strips of thick bacon with crushed toasted pecans and brown sugar. Broil the pieces of bacon until the brown sugar and pecans melt together.
Enjoy!
A friend has a recipe that's very similar to this in terms of the results; it's a lot more basic, though.
Essentially, take pitted dates; wrap each one in a strip of bacon, and put a cocktail stick through the middle to hold it together; then broil the lot.
The dates provide an excellent sweetness and flavour, which goes with the bacon's fattiness beautifully. *So* tasty!
