Total time: 45 min.
Servings: 20

1) Preparation
Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat (or 180 °C convection). Pit the dates and apricots. Finely dice the DORBLU Classic. Cut each bacon strip in half.

2) Fill the fruit
Fill each date and apricot with a piece of DORBLU Classic and wrap each filled fruit with half a slice of bacon. Press the ends lightly in place to adhere or secure with a toothpick.

3) Bake and arrange
Arrange the filled and wrapped fruit on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes until the bacon is crisp. Drizzle the thyme honey over the warm dates and apricots and garnish with a little fresh thyme if desired.

Enjoy your meal!

Tip: Make your own versatile and tasty thyme honey.
Thyme honey is easy to make yourself and not only pairs well with this dish, but is also excellent in tea or with a cheese platter. To make your own thyme honey, carefully heat the honey in a bain-marie (water bath or double boiler) until it thins a bit. The honey should not be heated above 40 °C. Add the fresh, washed and dried thyme sprigs to the warm honey and allow to stand for 10 minutes at the same temperature so the flavors can meld. Then transfer to a sterile jar and leave the mixture to rest in a cool place for at least two days. Finally, strain the mixture through a fine sieve. That’s it!
The intensity can be adjusted to taste. The more thyme you add and the longer the honey infuses, the more intense the flavor.
