DEVILS ON HORSEBACK



Devils on Horseback image

Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey brought this recipe to The Times in 1983, as part of an article about the piquant, pungent savories of the British Isles. During Victorian times, savories were served at the end of the meal, after dessert. But over time these delightfully named foods were more of a snack, or served as part of a lighter lunch or brunch. Traditionally, this savory is grilled by placing the wrapped prunes under a hot broiler, turning as necessary, until the bacon is crisp. This may be done, but they preferred the oven method.
