3 cups cooked prunes, pitted
Remove the pits from 3 cups of cooked prunes and rub the prunes through a sieve or puree in a food processor. Be careful if you do the latter, because you do not want to liquefy the prunes; you want a thick, velvety mass.
Sweeten with sugar. How much depends on whether the prunes have been cooked with sugar, whether they were sweet prunes or preferably sour prunes to begin with, and your personal taste. Cooked, unsweetened sour prunes will require about 1/2 cup sugar.
Stir in a little lemon juice, grated lemon rind, 1/2 to 1 tsp. powdered cinnamon, and, if you like, about 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts.
Poster's Notes:
I love to eat it as a snack on Ritz crackers. It's delicious and addictive!
