Ingredients

  1. 6 fresh bratwurst sausages
  2. 18 pitted prunes
  3. 6 slices bacon
  4. 12 toothpicks
  5. 6 bratwurst buns

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Place toothpicks in a small bowl of water and soak 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  3. 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.
  4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  5. Place sausages onto preheated grill and cook, turning once, until desired doneness, or until bacon is browned. Serve on buns topped with desired condiments.

This was wonderful. The sweet and salty contrast was really good. I wish prunes didn’t have such a negative image.. think of them as dried plums instead. I used a peppered turkey bacon with this… delish!

This sounded so strange I had to try it. I loved the way the sweet prunes and salty bacon complimented eachother. Next time I will chop the prunes up more fine so they don’t come out in big clumps. I can’t eat buns though (no bread stuff) so I just had it with a side of cabbage. Fantastic dinner. It was a bit dry though, but still I am putting this in my recipe inbox.
