And the only other place I’ve really seen prunes was in hotel breakfast buffets and they are rarely anything like the quality prunes from Sunsweet. Both sweet and savoury.*Ī prune is simply a dried plum, and is there any fruit sweeter or more delicious than a perfectly ripe plum? Sunsweet Prunes and Prune Juice are from California, the land of sunshine, and I swear you can taste it in their fruit!Īnd whilst I may sound like a life-long prune fan, the only time I actually remember eating them was in my Mum’s famous rabbit and prune casserole she used to make when I was a kid (more on that note coming soon). As a healthy wholefood, they offer a range of vitamins and minerals, especially potassium and vitamins K and B6, and are a brilliant way to bring a natural sweetness to all sorts of recipes. Yep! Prunes may have traditionally had a medicinal cult following, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t delicious too! And there’s no disputing that they’re good for you. Prune juice may have just become my new favourite ingredient in my little country kitchen! Today I’m using it to create the dreamy sauce for these poached pears, but stay tuned as we have an incredible savoury dish coming up real soon too.

The dish is served with an easy vanilla whipped cream. This Poached Pears with Spiced Sunsweet® Prune Juice recipe makes a light, warming dessert with no added sugar.
