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.

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

    Recently I used a recipe for date loaf but substituted the dates for prunes. It was lovely. I think nicer than the dates.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)
