My husband's grandmother gave me this recipe. The combo of sweet prunes, salty bacon and meaty sausages is delicious. This recipe is great with any fresh, large sausage (just not the wee breakfast-style sausages). Sometimes I use sweet Italian, sometimes spiced Italian, sometimes bratwurst, sometimes knockwurst, and sometimes just local pork sausage. Serve in buns with all the usual fixin's (sauerkraut, mustard, relish, etc.).
Ingredients
- 6 freshs bratwurst sausages
- 18 pitteds prunes
- 6 slices bacon
- 12 toothpicks
- 6 bratwursts 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.

Easy Chicken Street Tacos
I go to my local Mexican Market and buy "pollo para asar" which translates to "chicken to grill." This chicken is seasoned and ready to grill. These delicious tacos are easy to make and topped with cilantro and onions. I serve them with guacamole, salsa and fresh lime wedges on the side.
Sweet and Sour Green Beans
A slightly tart green bean side dish flavored with onion and bacon. Goes great with ham or pork.
