Great cocktail party savory-sweet tapas. My only difficulty was my oddball broiler, designed to discourage use. As an experiment, I tried this as well with Calimyrna figs, and marinated one date and one fig in Heitz Cellar Grignolino Port prior to broiling. The dates were much easier to wrap with bacon, and the date held its form well after marination. The figs tasted great, but did not present as well. Served them with Heitz Cellar Girgnolino Port and Recipe #370300; the Port was better. Thank you for sharing this recipe, January Bride. Made for the Bodacious Brickhouse Babes for ZWT5.
