Pork and prunes are a classic combination found in all sorts of big-flavored dishes from southwestern France, and this easy-to-make appetizer delivers that same wonderful flavor pairing to your guests in mere minutes! I like to make this dish with one of the smoky, dry-cured bacons to balance the sweetness of the dried fruit.

Ready in: 15 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 8 really good prunes, pitted
• 4 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Heat the broiler.
2. Wrap a half-slice of bacon around each prune and then run a toothpick through the whole thing to hold it together. Place on a baking sheet, run it under the broiler and cook until the bacon is done, turning the “devils” halfway through the cooking. If you want the bacon well done, you’ll do better to cook it partially through on its own before you do the wrapping.
