Fruity Friday

On Fridays, I am going to start a new feature: Fruit of the Week. Fruits comprise my favorite of the food groups! How about you? What's your favorite food group?

My fruit of the week is: PRUNES! Yes, just call me great-grandma Emily. I love prunes. Only recently have I been reintroduced to their deliciousness. Technically speaing, prunes are actually dried plums. They are a million reasons to add prunes to your daily food intake (other than the wonderfully fiber-licious reason everyone is aware of). My current favorite brand is Newman's Own. Here's the package:


Anybody else enjoy prunes? I'm not sure if prune recipes exist, but if they do, I'd love try them out! Have a great weekend, fellow eaters.

  1. Hmmm..the only recipe I have done with those prunes is a puree for baby food! Marilyn LOVED eating Newman's prunes in the puree...something to file away I guess.

    I wonder if you could caramelize them for a yummy frozen yogurt topping ?!

  2. Great idea, Karen! I bet that would be delicious on frozen yogurt.

    That's so fun that Marilyn loved Newman's own prune puree! I will absolutely file that idea away for someday when I have little ones. :)
