Soft and juicy the Lamb Brand Prunes are chosen from selected plum orchards. They are naturally prepared and carefully packaged. These soft pitted prunes are ready to eat and easy to use in your regular cooking. Rich in nutritional values, prunes are perfect for breakfast, as a snack or to complement many recipes.
Prunes are primarily famous for being a laxative because they are rich in fibre. It's this same vital component that makes them perfect for healthy eating and keeping your hunger to a minimum.
When soaked beforehand in water, juice, or alcohol, prunes do not take long to cook, and overly dry prunes can be soaked in boiling water, drained, and patted dry before being used.
When making stewed prunes, add the sugar only at the end of cooking: otherwise it will prevent the prunes from absorbing enough water.
Prunes can be eaten out of hand or stewed. They are cut up or left whole and incorporated into sauces, cakes, muffins, biscuits, auld puddings. Prunes are a classic and delicious accompaniment to rabbit and also work well with pork and poultry. In the culinary traditions of Iran and the Near East, lamb is often served with prunes.
Prunes are obviously sweet tasting so can be included in your dessert dishes also. Add them to anything from cookies and muffins to cakes and puddings!
