Bacon Wrapped Prunes Recipes

ALMOND-STUFFED BACON-WRAPPED PRUNES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees F/230 degrees C.
• Stuff the prunes with the almonds. Cut the bacon in half and wrap a piece around each prune. Set on a baking sheet and broil until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes, turning once. Serve hot with cocktail picks for spearing.

BACON WRAPPED PRUNES

Steps:

• 1. Partially cook bacon slices in microwave for 1-1/2 minutes on full power. This renders the fat and begins to shrivel the bacon. Cool.
• 2. Blend cream cheese, ricotta, tabasco and sage in a food processor until smooth and well blended. Using a small spoon or butter knife stuff cheese mixture into the prune openings. Round cheese on top of the prune opening.
• 3. Cut bacon slices in half lengthwise and wrap each slice around a cheese stuffed prune.
• 4. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place prunes on a baking sheet and bake for approx. 7 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving (they will be extremely hot directly from the oven and can burn tongues!)
• 5. Prunes can be prepared a couple of days in advance and refrigerated. Delicious!!

• 3. Slice bacon in half.
• 4. Wrap prune in 1/2 bacon slice.
• 5. Arrange prunes with the loose end of bacon facing downward on a foil lined baking tray.
• 6. Broil until browned, turning once.
