Bacon Wrapped Plums

These bacon wrapped plums are also called "Devils on Horseback". Enjoy! This recipe makes 16 appetizer servings.



Ingredients

 * 3 tbsp  mango chutney


 * 16  pitted dried plums (prunes)


 * 1 tsp  dry mustard


 * 8  bacon strips, each cut in half crosswise


 * pinch  of cayenne pepper, plus more for garnish


 * 4 slices  of firm white sandwich bread


 * salt and freshly ground pepper


 * butter for spreading 

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Mix the chutney, mustard, and cayenne, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Make a small slit in each dried plum and stuff with a little of the chutney mixture. Wrap each with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Place the wrapped dried plums on an oiled baking sheet.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, turning them after 5 minutes, until the bacon is crisp.

Meanwhile, toast the bread. Remove the crusts, and using a 2in (5cm) cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds. Butter the toast rounds and top each one with a bacon-wrapped plum. Sprinkle each with a little cayenne pepper and serve warm.
