Devils on Horseback

While pigs in blankets is the more well-known bacon-wrapped bite, I feel devils on horseback deserve to be more in the limelight. Using either prunes or dates, the dried fruit adds a subtle sweetness, which works wonderfully with the savoury bacon. Like pigs in blankets, devils on horseback are a great snack to be handed around at a drinks party or as a side to a festive roast.

Soaking the dried fruit in brandy is not necessary but adds a little extra depth.
