Ingredients

• 2 cups pitted prunes
• 1.5 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Place 2 cups of pitted prunes into a medium-sized saucepan.

Step 2

Add 1.5 cups of water to the saucepan, ensuring the prunes are mostly submerged.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the prunes are plump and soft.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the softened prunes and any remaining liquid to a blender or food processor.

Step 6

Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor as needed.

Step 7

If the puree is too thick, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time, blending between each addition until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 8

Once smooth, transfer the prune puree to an airtight container and allow it to cool completely before storing.

Step 9

Store the puree in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze portions for longer storage.
