Homemade Pizza with Prune Marmalade and Bacon

This simple prune jam from Daniele Uditi, Execute Chef at Pizzana, adds a sweet and tangy hit to a homemade pizza studded with bacon and mint in this dinner recipe. La tur is a French cheese that’s rich and creamy yet mild enough to let the subtle flavors of the prunes come through. If you can’t find la tur, feel free to substitute brie.

Bacon + prunes, a match made in heaven

Why are bacon and prunes a perfect pairing? You’ve heard the saying opposites attract, right? Prunes are naturally sweet and bacon is deliciously salty. When you serve the two together, it’s the perfect combination of flavors. Crispy, rich bacon and creamy sweet prune marmalade are unexpectedly delicious additions to this unique homemade pizza.
