0.33 cup aged balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
directions
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bacon
Lay the cut bacon on a cooling rack over a sheet pan. Transfer to the oven and partially cook the bacon (only 6-8 minutes). Cool and cut bacon into 2 1/2 inch pieces to wrap around fruit.
Assembly
Cut the cheese into 24 small wedges. Put a piece of bacon on the work surface and place a persimmon on top. Then put a wedge of blue cheese on top of persimmon. Wrap with the partially cooked bacon around the persimmon and fasten with a toothpick.
Baking
Place on a baking pan and broil on one side until the bacon starts to brown (about 2-3 minutes). Turn and finish cooking until the bacon is crisp (another 2-3 minutes). If left too long under the broiler, the cheese will melt and ooze out. Transfer to a platter.
Optional
Combine balsamic and honey in a sauté pan and simmer/reduce for 2 minutes. Drizzle or brush over the plated persimmons.
