Question...
do you puree the prunes yourself? can you buy pureed prunes? or could you use something like prune baby food??

manda -

I'm not sure if you can buy prune puree - I am so used to doing it myself - and you can use baby food.

Hope this helps -

when you puree them yourself, do you cook them in water to plump them up and then puree them?
I dont know how to go about doing it...
I will probably just cheat and use baby food.

[Kitchen Witch]

To make a 1/2 cup of prune puree, add about 12 prunes and 3 tablespoons of warm water to a food processor. Process until only tiny bits of prune remain. Add a little more water if necessary.

I hope this helps!
