GIVE THANKS


Give thanks for the farmers, and for everyone in the long chain from soil to mouth via sun and rain. Give thanks for the plenty in our lives. Let every mouthful remind us of the privilege of being alive and more-than-adequately fed, of being among like-minded souls, and sharing a wholesome, flavorsome meal.

Drunken Prunes with Blackberry Brandy and Bacon


Drunken Prunes with  Blackberry Brandy and Bacon

This makes a nice appetizer. I am not stating amounts as you can make as many or as few as you like. The method is the same.

Ingredients:

Pitted prunes

Blackberry brandy

Bacon

 

Method:

1. Cover pitted prunes with blackberry brandy and refrigerate overnight.

Next day:

2. Pre-heat oven to 375 ̊.

3. Remove prunes and lay on paper towel to drain excess brandy.

4. Slice bacon strips into smaller pieces (about 3 per strip).

5. Wrap each prune with a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.

6. Bake in oven until bacon is brown and crisp.

 

A different twist: Add your favorite goat cheese – simply wrap it inside the bacon! Scrumptious!
