Bacon-Wrapped Prunes with Artichoke Hearts
These cocktail tidbits have a stuffing of cream cheese, celery and artichoke that's a creamy contrast to the crisp grilled bacon that wraps the prunes.
Ingredients
- 12 large prunes pitted
- 1 slice lemon
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 cooked artichoke hearts finely chopped
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- 6 slices bacon
Instructions
- Soak prunes overnight in water with lemon slice. Drain and pat dry.
- Combine celery, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt and cayenne. Stuff prunes with mixture. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap a slice around each prune; fasten with toothpicks.
- Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp.
Notes
This appetizer is best served hot, so serve immediately after grilling.
