Flavour & texture

Sweet, rich and fruity with a deep, slightly caramelised note. Soft, sticky and chewy, becoming almost jam-like when cooked or soaked.

Common culinary uses

• Snacking – eaten as they are
• Baking – cakes, loaves, puddings, tarts
• Stews & tagines – especially with lamb or beef
• Sauces & purées – blended into gravies or dessert sauces
• Breakfast dishes – porridge, yoghurt, cereals
• Stuffings – paired with nuts, herbs, or meats

Prunes add sweetness and moisture without refined sugar.

Using pitted prunes

• Chopped: stir into baking or salads
• Soaked: rehydrate in warm water, tea, or juice
• Purée: use as a natural sweetener or fat substitute in baking
• Cooking: simmer gently — they break down easily

 Tip: A short soak plumps prunes and softens their flavour.
