Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• 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 preheated grill and cook, turning once, until desired doneness, or until bacon is browned. serve on buns topped with desired condiments.
