easter appetizer: apricots wrapped in bacon
on easter sunday the final episode of the bbc drama 'the passion' was on and i got a little wrapped up in it (jesus did resurrect after all) and forgot about the things in the oven...so some of it got a little over cooked. nothing was burned to in-edible...just pleasantly charred. let that be a lesson to you all.
5 dried apricots per person
bacon rashers cut in half, one rasher per 2 apricots
sprinkling of dried oregano
preheat oven to 165C/325F.
sprinkle the oregano over the apricots.
wrap each apricot in a bacon rasher.
slow roast them in the oven for the last 30-45 minutes of the lamb's cooking time.
crank up the oven to 200C/395F and finish roasting the bacon and apricots for 10 minutes or until crispy.

Why? Why does this recipe exist? I never would have thought of such a thing. Was it good?
it's super good, you should make them. they are rediculously quick and easy. i found the recipe in my sainsbury's magazine.

'they were moorish and succulent and simple yet falvourful.'
they were very succulent. the crispy bacon contrasted nicely with the warm and squishy apricot center. the hint of oregano gave it a nice savoury edge.
