Connie Said:

I have dried plums (ok prunes! :P)..does anyone know of simple recipes so I can use them?

We Answered:

I love this:
Cook the dried plums with apples and water. This is a wonderful dessert.

Slice the dried plums in little pieces. Add plum butter ( teaspoon after teaspoon ) and grounded nuts. Season it with cinnamon. It should give a dry dough ( at least not sticky ). Take a teaspoon, get a little dough on it and turn it into little balls.

Prunes and Dumplings recipe? Prunes boiled and served over a fried bread?

We Answered:

Take Dried plums or cherries or sour cherries; put to moisten a little in warm water, then remove, wash well and boil with water, with wine and sugar, with cloves and with nutmeg and cinnamon, all these ground together. And after you've boiled, when you serve, put on slices of fried bread and add sugar over.
