Ingredients

12 large dried plums, pitted
1 slice lemon
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 cooked artichoke hearts, finely chopped
3 ounce cream cheese
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
6 slices bacon

Directions

Soak the dried plums overnight in water with the lemon slice. Drain and pat dry.
Combine the celery, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne. Stuff the dried plums with the mixture. Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap a slice around each dried plum; fasten with toothpicks. Grill until the bacon is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
