Bacon-Wrapped Apricots with Almonds and Brazil Nuts


...adapted from Southern Living.
Last year, one of Kelly's friends brought bacon-wrapped apricots with sage to her Christmas party.  I was hoping to copy her recipe to bring to Amanda's house last night, but used Google instead to come up with this one, involving almonds.  Being a huge Brazil-nut fan, I had to throw in Brazil nuts as well.
These were delicious- as addicting as potato chips- and SO easy to make.  I wasn't sure how the sauce would go over, but it added a lot to the flavor and I would definitely include it again.

Bacon-Wrapped Apricots

Ingredients

20 apricots
10 slices of bacon, cut lengthwise in half
a mixture of 20 nuts (Brazil and almods work well)
1/4 c plum jelly (pineapple, apple, and apricot are options too)
2 tbsp soy sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Stuff each apricot with 1 nut.
Wrap each stuffed apricot with 1/2 strip of bacon, secure with a toothpick.
Place on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake for 25 minutes or until bacon is crisp, turning once.
In small saucepan, mix jelly with soy sauce.  Heat until warm and smooth, stirring occasionally.
Remove apricots from oven and onto paper towels to drain.
Serve with sauce for dipping.
