Any Recipes Using Prunes ?

[Nyboy]

Changes to body from middle age, makes daily intake of prunes a must. After almost a year of eating and drinking prunes, i am kind of bored with them. Looking for new ways to consume prunes.

Nyboy, I don't eat prunes. But have you tried about a half cup of blueberries with greek yogurt in the monrings? Works for me.

Cut them up over a bowl of cereal.
Split them open and stuff with cream cheese.

Just had a brain flash;
Pint jar, stuff with prunes, cup of sugar, fill with vodka. I think you know what to do after that..... Prune cordial!

BUT you would have to toss the vodka and eat the prunes anyway to get the benefit. Sounds like a before bed snack. You won't want to be driving when you're full of prunes.

Good Heavens Ladies, you are so helpful. LOL

Thanks ladies will try the cream cheese. What are prunes from?

 

[baymule]

Prunes are from prune plums.

 

[Nyboy]

can any plum be made in to a prune?

No expert here, but my thinking is that plums made into prunes are a deep purple and freestone. I think there may be several varieties used for prunes. I don't see using the red plums that the plum sticks to the seed, for prunes. JMO
