APRICOT ZINGERS
From: Carrie Vitt @ deliciouslyorganic.net/progressive-holiday-dinner/
You can make the zingers ahead of time and freeze them, unbaked in an airtight container. No need to thaw them – you can bake them straight from the freezer. Just increase the baking time to 25-30 minutes. I make a large batch of these before the holiday season begins so I have a quick and delicious appetizer for friends and family.
Makes: 20 appetizers
Ingredients:
20 dried apricots
20 jarred organic jalapeños
7 bacon slices, cut into thirds (organic and pastured preferred)
20 strong toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and adjust the rack to the middle position.
Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper .
Using a paring knife , cut a slice horizontally down the apricot.
Cut almost but not all the way through, so that it will open like a book.
Place a jalapeño slice inside the apricot, wrap the apricot in a piece of the cut bacon, secure it with a toothpick , and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Using a pair of tongs , flip the zingers and bake 10 minutes more, or until the bacon is golden brown.
Serve immediately.
