Bacon Wrapped Apricots

I decided to throw a Christmas Eve Open House. I wasn't sure what the turn out would be, as most of our friends have plans on Christmas Eve. We however, don't usually have anything going on.

It was quite a success! I think it will now become a tradition. The challenging part is going to be to figure out how to top this years menu next year. Every single appetizer was oh so delicious!!

I think the most commented on though, was the bacon wrapped apricots. I made you a little how-to video. Enjoy!

See? So Easy!

Take these to your next party, or just serve them at home with dinner. There is no wrong time to eat these!

Confession: I am not the biggest fan of apricots. When I saw the recipe, I wasn't sure, but it sounded interesting.

I gotta tell ya, I LOVE these! The combination of these ingredients together is fantastic! It will not disappoint! Unless you don't like bacon. I'm not sure I've ever met someone that didn't like bacon.

I always make a double batch of these, they won't last long!

Besides being super easy, you can actually make these ahead of time and freeze them.
