This canapé has it all. The date is cloyingly sweet—the cheese is creamy, salty, and tangy and complements the fruit, cutting the date’s sugary intensity. And the bacon…well, you know…it’s bacon! It crisps up and imparts its fat and flavor into the fruit. It’s decadent, warm, and rich—a perfect choice for holiday gatherings of family and friends.
