Demons on Horseback

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 24 Prunes
• 12 rashers Bacon
• 12 small slices Toast
• 50g (2oz) Mango Chutney
• Butter
• 1 bunch Watercress  

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C: 400°F
2. Soak the prunes in boiling water or tea for at least 30 minutes, then remove the stones.
3. Stuff each prune with ½ tsp mango chutney.
4. De-rind and stretch the bacon with the back of a knife to prevent it shrinking, cut each rasher in half.
5. Wrap a piece of bacon round each prune.
6. Place on a baking tray.
7. Keep them packed up tight so that they don't come apart (alternatively pierce with a cocktail stick to prevent this).
