    • Kid friendly.

    📖 Ingredient notes

    Prunes

    Prunes are dried plums. They are high in fiber and rich in potassium. They are famously known as a natural laxative and good for treating constipation (source: The Top Health Benefits of Prunes and Prune Juice by Healthline).

    Prunes are very sweet, sticky and chewy.

    In France (where I live) they are extremely popular. We use them to prepare both sweet and savory dishes. You can also eat prunes alone as a snack.

    Bacon

    Make sure to read labels and go with bacon that doesn’t contain a bunch of additives and sugar. 

    👩🏻‍🍳Top tips

    • Cooking time is quite short (10 to 15 minutes) and the bacon can quickly turn from "not quite brown enough" to "burnt". So put a timer. And keep an eye on your bacon wrapped prunes when you get close to the 10 minute timeline.
    • Once your bacon wrapped prunes are out of the oven, wait for a few minutes for them to cool down. Otherwise, you will definitely burn your tongue.

    💬 Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you pit prunes?

    The easiest way to pit a prune is to use a small paring knife. cut a line lengthwise down each prune. Gently press the prune, the pit should come out by itself, if not, gently pull the prune open and remove the pit. You can also buy pre-pitted prunes which makes prep time go much faster.

    How to store bacon wrapped prunes?

    Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    Can you reheat bacon wrapped prunes?

    Yes! Bacon wrapped prunes can be reheated. Put them back on a baking dish. Preheat oven to 360° F (180° C) and warm up for 5 minutes or until hot.

    Can you eat bacon wrapped prunes cold?

    Yes. That's another reason why they are a great cocktail party appetizer. They can be eaten both hot or cold. After cooking them, you can either serve them hot or you can let them cool down completely until they reach room temperature and then eat them.
