Background

Prunes wrapped in crispy bacon is a classic sweet & savoury combination - indeed, a classic French appetizer. They go so well with a glass of bubbly, so these little examples of what the English call devils on horseback are perfect nibbles at drinks parties.

Ingredients

12 strips of streaky bacon (thin)
24 soft-dried prunes, pitted
Almonds (optional, see tips)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Cut the bacon into halves if they're too long.
Place a prune at one end of the bacon strip and roll it up, wrapping the prune tightly. Push a toothpick through the middle of the wrapped prune roll to secure. Repeat with the rest of the prunes and bacon.
Place them on a non-stick or lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking, until the bacon is crispy on all sides.
Serve warm or cool.

Tips

Try stuffing the prunes with toasted almond before wrapping them in the bacon.
Or soaking the prunes in brandy or mulled wine half an hour before wrapping.
You can use pancetta instead of bacon.
You can add a sage of bay leaf to the wrap.
