Stewed Prunes Recipe 1

From LoveToKnow Recipes

Instructions
  1. Wash one-third or one-half a pound of prunes, rubbing them between the hands, rinse in cold water and drain; then cover with cold water and let stand several hours or over night.
  2. Set to cook in the water in which they were standing, adding more if needed.
  3. Let simmer until they are tender and the water is reduced.
  4. Just before removing from the fire add from one-fourth to one-half a cup of sugar and let simmer six or eight minutes.
  5. The sugar may be omitted and often be unmissed.
  6. The juice from half a lemon, a little candied orange or lemon rind, or a tablespoon or two of sherry, may be added occasionally, to give variety to the flavor.
  7. The blanched pits from the stones also give a pleasing flavor.
