These appetizers may sound a little strange, but they are absolutely delectible! I've never served them and had any left over..guests love them and always ask me to make them. Delicious!!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 slice good quality bacon
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 c whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
24 large sage leaves, fresh
48 large pitted 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!!

Overall, I thought these were a good appetizer. I would make them again with a few modifications.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I would cook the bacon for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found these to be a bit bland. I would add some more spices next time.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of brown sugar next time.

I've made these several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve them with a dipping sauce.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used dried cherries instead of prunes and they were still delicious.

I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! The bacon and prunes complement each other perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these for my family and they were a huge success! The bacon was crispy and the prunes were soft and chewy. I will definitely be making these again.
