GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH PRUNES AND BACON
My husband's grandmother gave me this recipe. The combo of sweet prunes, salty bacon and meaty sausages is delicious. This recipe is great with any fresh, large sausage (just not the wee breakfast-style sausages). Sometimes I use sweet Italian, sometimes spiced Italian, sometimes bratwurst, sometimes knockwurst, and sometimes just local pork sausage. Serve in buns with all the usual fixin's (sauerkraut, mustard, relish, etc.).

Steps:
- Prick the casing of each sausage in a few places to prevent them from bursting. Place the sausages in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 8 minutes. Remove from pot and let cool.
- Place toothpicks in a small bowl of water and soak 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Slice sausages halfway through on the long side. Stuff 3 prunes into the opening. Wrap a bacon slice around the sausage in a spiral and secure with two toothpicks. Repeat with all 6 sausages.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
- Place sausages onto preheated grill and cook, turning once, until desired doneness, or until bacon is browned. Serve on buns topped with desired condiments.

trevor_e@hotmail.frThe sausages were a little dry. I would cook them for less time next time.

shanta.k@yahoo.comThis dish was a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of prunes next time.

jamshida@hotmail.comThe only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of sausage. I used Italian sausage, but I think a more mild sausage would be better.

ucheikechukw78@aol.comThis is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The sausages, prunes, and bacon cook together in one pan, so there's minimal cleanup.

n_chah@hotmail.frI followed the recipe exactly and the sausages turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still juicy, and the prunes and bacon added a delicious flavor.
