Preparation
Presoak prunes in rum mixture for 12 hours in refrigerator. Pat dry before use.
Cut the bacon slices in half and use them to wrap the dates and prunes. If the bacon is too short, it can also be split lengthwise.

After cooking let the oil drain on kitchen paper.
The tapa tastes best when warm.
