Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

- Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Add the stuffing and dot with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH PRUNES AND BACON
My husband's grandmother gave me this recipe. The combo of sweet prunes, salty bacon and meaty sausages is delicious. This recipe is great with any fresh, large sausage (just not the wee breakfast-style sausages). Sometimes I use sweet Italian, sometimes spiced Italian, sometimes bratwurst, sometimes knockwurst, and sometimes just local pork sausage. Serve in buns with all the usual fixin's (sauerkraut, mustard, relish, etc.).

Steps:
- Prick the casing of each sausage in a few places to prevent them from bursting. Place the sausages in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 8 minutes. Remove from pot and let cool.
- Place toothpicks in a small bowl of water and soak 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Slice sausages halfway through on the long side. Stuff 3 prunes into the opening. Wrap a bacon slice around the sausage in a spiral and secure with two toothpicks. Repeat with all 6 sausages.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
- Place sausages onto preheated grill and cook, turning once, until desired doneness, or until bacon is browned. Serve on buns topped with desired condiments.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Run a skewer lengthwise through the center of one of the pork halves. Remove the skewer and insert a fork handle into one end of the pork, in the hole created by the skewer. Twist the fork around to enlarge the hole enough to insert the prunes. Repeat at the other end. Push half of the prunes into the hole until a line of prunes runs the length of the pork. Repeat with other pork half.
- Rub the mustard all over the pork and season generously with pepper. Wrap the bacon around the pork and place in a large roasting pan. Roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
