The Concentrated Taste of the Plum

Prunes are made by drying ripe plums. As the fruit gives up its water it darkens, the surface wrinkles slightly and the taste becomes markedly more concentrated. The texture is soft and fleshy, and both stoned and unstoned forms suit different uses.

How Prunes Are Used

They are served plain, and also used in compotes, in fruit garnishes beside meat dishes, and in cake and tart recipes. Where a softer consistency is wanted, soak and drain them in warm water first. A sealed container in a cool, dry place keeps the texture intact.
