Ingredients:
24 pieces black pig bacon, or another quality bacon
24 figs
24 toothpicks
Saba (or an aged balsamic vinegar), for drizzling
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. On a sheet pan, par cook bacon until it begins to render some fat and turns golden brown around the edges, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly and then wrap a slice of bacon (trimming any excess) around a fig and close with a toothpick. Repeat this with the remaining figs and bacon.
The figs can be prepared up to this point a few hours ahead. Broil the figs until they are roasted through and the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Watch them carefully so they do not burn. Drizzle with the Saba and serve immediately.
Yield: 12 hors d'oeuvres size servings
Editor's Note: Look for hormone-free pork—try at your local farmer's market..
