Directions

The lemon adds a zesty contrast to the flavor of the prunes. My grandmother used to make these for breakfast. You can also serve them as a dessert at lunch or dinner.

1 pound dried pitted prunes 1 lemon, sliced into thin rounds Boiling water to just cover

1. Place the prunes and lemon slices in a medium-size non-aluminum, heat-proof mixing bowl.

2. Add the boiling water. Stir the prunes once, cover the bowl, and allow to stand at room temperature until cool. Stir again, transfer to a storage container, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Can keep in the refrigerator for at least a week.
