Mmmmm, I want to make that!! Labor intensive but no doubt a) worth it and b) the house will smell fantastic (if you love garlic and I do)!
Please source your garlic CAREFULLY. I wouldn’t buy the garlic in the jars either without sourcing. China is trying to take over the garlic market with their bleached chemical laden nasty stuff. I only buy garlic when it is from California and I trust the source that they aren’t lying.
Tonight I am making meat candy. A fun thing to eat while watching hockey, or any sport. You grind up pre cooked sausage (we are using the apple and chicken kind but you could use anything, even the spicy ones, just use the precooked variety) in a food processor. Then you have a couple packets of bacon (we use turkey) ready. Heat the oven to 375. Get a package of nice juicy dates.
Then assemble: slit each date with a paring knife and remove the pit. Stuff (overstuff!) the date with the ground cooked sausage. Then wrap the whole thing with bacon and put them into a baking dish (like a typical glass rectangle) with the loose end down. Keep doing it. It will make the number of bacon slices you have, so buy accordingly.
Bake for 35-40 mins. Let cool a little, then.... Meat candy!
Is good.
I must have missed the thread last week, maybe I was sick. Hi all!
After reading your comment I checked the label on my little mesh bag of fresh garlic: product of China :-(. I’ll find plenty at the farmers market this summer, but will need a plan for winter. Can it be strung up and hung from the ceiling? The unfinished part of our basement is pretty dry.
