Bacon-Wrapped Madjool Dates W/Manchego

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Give me an S, give me a T, give me an O...L...E...N. What's that spell?? The original recipe was drizzled with a fancy apple gastrique. Believe me, I tried to duplicate it and for my efforts I ended up with an odd bourbon-laced applesauce. My intentions were good but gastrique is both out of my cooking realm and comfort zone. Therefore, I simplified the recipe merely by warming honey with a splash of apple cider (agave nectar will work I'm sure) and lightly drizzled it over the dates. Another option I thought of later: use this recipe: #421812 to prepare the bacon and skip the honey drizzle entirely. Please note that I estimated the amount of all ingredients-everything was "eyeballed". Can definitely be made with vegetarian bacon.
