Ingredients

• vegetable oil, for greasing
• 4 streaky bacon rashers (strips)
• 8 soft dried pitted prunes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/gas mark 6). Brush a baking tray with the oil.
2. Cut each bacon rasher in half lengthways. Lay a strip of bacon on a chopping board, place a dried prune at the top edge and roll, wrapping it tightly around the prune. Pierce a cocktail stick through the centre of the wrapped prune to secure. Repeat with the remaining bacon and prunes.
3. Place the prunes on a the prepared baking tray and bake them for 10–15 minutes, turning over half way through cooking, until the bacon is slightly crispy on both sides.
