While pigs in blankets are the more well known bacon wrapped bite, I feel that devils on horseback deserve to be more in the limelight. Using either prunes or dates, the dried fruit adds subtle sweetness which works wonderfully with the savoury bacon. Just like pigs in blankets, devils on horseback are a great snack to be handed around a drinks party, or as a side to a festive roast.
Soaking the dried fruit in bacon is not necessary but adds a little extra depth.
6 rashers of streaky bacon
12 stoned prunes or dates
brandy (optional)
