Bacon-Wrapped Plum Recipe
This bacon-wrapped plum recipe is a delightful blend of savory and sweet flavors, creating a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion. The crispiness of the bacon complements the juicy sweetness of the plums, making it a mouthwatering treat that's both easy to prepare and impossible to resist.
Ingredients
- 12 ripe plums halved and pitted
- 12 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Toothpicks soaked in water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the plums in half and remove the pits. If the plums are large, you can cut each half into smaller wedges.
- Take each plum half and wrap it with a slice of bacon. Secure the bacon in place by inserting a water-soaked toothpick through the plum and bacon.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and black pepper. Gently coat each bacon-wrapped plum with this sugar and pepper mixture.
- Place the bacon-wrapped plums on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. You may want to turn the plums halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Once the bacon-wrapped plums are golden brown and the bacon is crispy, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
