Ingredients:
12 paper thin slices Schaller & Weber Double Smoked Bacon
2 ripe seasonal stone fruits or orchard fruits, pitted and thinly sliced
1/3 cup booze, such as white wine, bourbon or rye whiskey
12 baguette slices, sliced on a bias about 1/4 inch thick
Directions:
In a small bowl, add sliced fruit and booze and allow to macerate until
fruit is soft, but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the baguette slices. Either spread baguette slices on a
sheet tray and place in hot oven or under broiler; or grill them dry, on
a hot grill or grill pan until light golden brown.
To serve, arrange about 3 slices of the drained macerated fruit on each
toasted baguette slice. Lay or ribbon a paper thin shaving of bacon on
top of fruit.
ADDITIONAL TIP:
Try adding a fresh herb to the maceration of fruit and booze, such as a
sprig or two of thyme, tarragon or rosemary. Finish the crostini with
the fresh herb leaf of choice, to hint the flavor is infused.
