  • 12 pitted dates
  • 1 pack blue cheese
  • 12 rashers smoked streaky bacon
  • runny honey, for drizzling
  • YEW Apple Sparkling Water, to serve, optional

Method

5 steps

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 185°C/165°C fan/gas 4½ and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    Cut a lengthways slit in each date without slicing right through, then gently stuff each cavity with blue cheese and press closed.

  3. Step 3

    Lay a rasher of bacon flat on a board and run the back of a knife along its length to stretch and thin it slightly. Wrap tightly around a stuffed date. Repeat with the remaining bacon and dates.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 mins. Turn each date over and cook for a further 10 mins, or until evenly browned and crisp.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle with runny honey while still warm and serve with chilled cans of YEW Apple Sparkling Water.
