Pecan Stuffed Dates With Bacon
------------------------------
1 pound pitted dates
1 (4 ounce.) pkg. whole blanched almonds or possibly walnuts or possibly 
  whole pecans
1 1/4 pound very thinly sliced lean bacon

Stuff each date with a pecan. Cut bacon strip into thirds and wrap a piece 
around each date. Secure with a round wooden toothpick. Put the dates on 
foil lined baking sheet and bake in preheated 400 degree preheated oven 
till the bacon is crisp, about 12-15 min. Drain on a rack paper towel. 
Serve hot. Makes 60 hors d'oeuvres.

Note: Prepared dates can be frozen in advance and baked unthawed in a 
preheated 400 degree oven till crisp.
