print recipeDarjeeling Prunes In Bacon
Twinings Tea: Darjeeling
Serves 6. (Makes 18)
Ingredients
- 18 prunes
- 1 oz Darjeeling tea
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup port
- approx. 6 Tbsp hot chutney
- approx. 9 slices streaky bacon
- 18 glace cherries
Method
- Place the prunes, tea and boiling water into a saucepan and allow to simmer gently until the prunes are soft and plump. Take care that the prunes do not split.
- Pour this mixture into a bowl and leave until cold.
- Add the port and allow to marinate overnight.
- Next day, drain the prunes, remove the pits and fill the cavities with about 5ml chutney.
- Wrap the prunes in the bacon. Allow 1/2 a strip per prune or just enough to completely encircle each prune.
- Place prunes on a baking sheet and bake in a hot oven until the bacon is crisp.
- Using toothpicks, place a cherry on each prune and serve while still warm.
