I used to hate prunes. Really hate them. They reminded me of bad school lunches. That was until I started to travel in Italy for work. In the restaurants, the dessert trolleys would trundle by after lunch laden with tarts, cakes, gelato and, surprisingly, large bowls of prunes. These didn't look like school lunch so eventually I tried them. They were unexpected deliciousness in a light, lemony syrup and hate turned to love! Here they are for you in this stewed prunes recipe, with all the good for you fiber and vitamins that come with prunes.
