Grilled Sausages with Prunes and Bacon image

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.).

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 fresh bratwurst sausages
18 pitted prunes
6 slices bacon
12 toothpicks
6 bratwurst buns

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.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The sweetness of the prunes and the smokiness of the bacon help to offset the bitterness of the vegetables.
