Prunes

Ive just found a tin of prunes in my cupboard, so apart from warming them through, and having them with custard, what can i do with them?

Hiya catowen, you could chop them up and put them into a sticky toffee cake (i think?) :
Your bananaloaf recipe is now being enjoyed by my visitors, and I have to make it when I know they are coming lol.

put them in a crumble with other fruit

I'm sure someone, somewhere will have a recipe for a prune cake or prune pudding of some kind. I know prunes and walnuts are a good combo

If they aren't in syrup they'd be good in a meat casserole. Rabbit is good with prunes. Also Morrocan style meat tagines often have prunes in them.

AAAAAAAAAaarghhhhh! Cant beleive you just said rabbit thriftlady...I have a pet rabbit and im glad to say things havent been that bad that I have eaten my pet or any of its relatives!!

Wild rabbits cost about £4 at my butcher and feed all 5 of us There as free range as you could possibly want and have eaten a natural diet. If you eat meat I can't think of anything more ethical:)

I love rabbit:)

Can't get it at any of the butchers close to me though

They are great mixed in with a choc cake mix.

I was going to suggest the same thing - I'm sure Nigella does a recipe for chocolate and prune cake.

Have a look on the BBC receipe website for suggestions...

Recently I used a recipe for date loaf but substituted the dates for prunes. It was lovely. I think nicer than the dates.
