From a cookbook of food along the Danube, this recipe is Hungarian. Technically a side dish, not a dessert. Can be served with turkey. (I wouldn't but then I'm a vegetarian. ) I have not tried this recipe yet. Ingredients:
1/2-3/4 lb almonds |
2 lbs prunes, pitted |
4 cups red wine or 4 cups ruby port |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ginger |
Directions:
1. Blanch almonds by placing in bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Drain, let cool and rub skins off each almond.
2. Stuff each prune with a blanched almond. Place in saucepan and add wine and seasonings. Simmer for 10-15 minutes over low heat.
