Devils on horseback are a hot appetizer or small savory dish of dried fruit stuffed with ingredients such as cheese or nuts and wrapped in bacon, prosciutto or pancetta. The traditional version uses a pitted date and bacon, though prunes steeped in brandy or another liqueur are also used, and the wrapped fruit is fried or baked and often served on toast with chutney and mustard.
