Tamari Glazed Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates

Soak the toothpicks in water for about 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil.

Place the brown sugar in a small bowl. Combine the tamari and ginger in another bowl.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese with the pecans, mixing well. Stuff the dates with some of the goat cheese mixture, wrap each date with half a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Dip the dates in the tamari mixture then into the brown sugar, coating well. Place on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
