- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Soak the cocktail sticks in a bowl of water. Grease a 20x30cm baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce and ground ginger. Place the dark brown soft sugar into a shallow bowl. Spread open a pitted date, then stuff it with a smoked almond. Wrap the date with half a bacon rasher, secure it with a cocktail stick, dip the bundle in soy sauce mixture and then dip it into dark brown soft sugar. Place the wrapped dates into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle a little more dark brown soft sugar over the bundles.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is brown and crisp, 15 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving; serve warm or at room temperature.
Double or triple the recipe for a large crowd! You can also use prunes or dried apricots instead of dates or mango chutney instead of the almonds. Serve on top of watercress greens.
