Ingredients:

Makes about 24 pieces

1/2-lb. pitted prunes
12 bacon slices
wooden toothpicks

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each bacon slice in half so it's just long enough to wrap around a prune and overlap slightly.
   
2. Secure with a wooden toothpick and transfer to a sturdy baking sheet.
   
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until bacon is crisp. Or preheat the broiler and broil, turning occasionally, until bacon is crisp.
