Yes, you read that right. My parents just discovered a plum tree in their backyard (long story) and it looks like there's a bumper crop. As I don't have canning supplies, I whipped out the dehydrator and "made" prunes for the first time. Now I just need some ideas about what to do with all of them. (Hey, at least the family will stay regular this fall!)
Does anybody have any favorite tried-and-true recipes that include prunes?
Try making prune danish, or prune whip. Also, filled cookies eaten in Jewish homes at Purim. They're called hamantaschen and have all different kinds of fruit fillings, puréed prunes among them. Here's a page online that tells about them and offers a good recipe http://www.tampabay.com/features/food/general/article1218488.ece
Thanks Rosemary! I've been googling recipes but Farmgirls always have the best and most creative ideas so I wanted to ask here as well. I love the stuffing idea.
I've seen several chicken recipes that call for dried plums (same thing I know just avoiding the prune word I guess). You could google recipes and come up with a lot.
Excited about...prunes!
