ingredients
-
GLAZE
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
-
DATES
- 3 ounces soft blue cheese
- 1⁄2 cup finely chopped pecans or 2 ounces pecans
- 24 medjool dates or 1 lb medjool dates
- canola oil cooking spray
directions
- If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F).
- In a small saucepan combine the vinegar and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- In a small bowl mash the blue cheese and pecans together with a fork. Make a small slice the length of each date and pull out the pit. Stuff each date with about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture, pressing it closed as much as possible. Thread two dates on each skewer so that the skewer goes through both halves of each date. Lightly spray with the canola oil.
- Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the dates over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Arrange the dates on a platter and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve the dates warm with the glaze.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
