Omega Dried Prunes: soft dried plums for snacking, compotes, tagines and baking. Single 1 kg pack.
Prunes are dried plums, most commonly from the European plum tree, Prunus domestica, using varieties firm and sweet enough to dry well. They are soft, sticky and richly sweet. Enjoy them as a snack, stew them with a little water, cinnamon and orange peel for a breakfast compote, or chop them into sticky toffee-style puddings, fruit loaves and energy balls. In savoury cooking prunes pair well with lamb and chicken in Moroccan tagines and Persian khoresh, and with roast meats in French cooking. Check for stones before using in baking if the pack is not pitted. Store prunes in a closed container in a cool, dry cupboard, and refrigerate opened packs in hot weather. Prunes soaked in warm tea become extra plump and soft for baking.
