1. Stuff each date with approximately 1/4 ounce of goat cheese (or whatever date will accommodate).
2. If bacon is thick cut, roll bacon with rolling pin until thin and lengthened, cut into three pieces.
3. If bacon is already thinly sliced, cut in half for 2 pieces that will wrap the dates.
4. Whichever method, wrap each date with bacon and place three on each skewer, piercing the bacon through the seam to ensure it stays wrapped during the cooking process.
5. The dates can then be cooked on the grill until bacon is lightly charred and goat cheese warm, or in the oven at 400 degrees until bacon is crisp.
6. Remove from grill or oven when ready, drizzle with reduced balsamic vinegar, serve and enjoy!
