PRUNES IN A PITCHER



Prunes in a Pitcher image

Gail Monaghan's 2007 book "Lost Desserts" delved into the histories of some delectable dishes. This one goes back to the 1800s. Prunes in a pitcher, or pruneaux au pichet, were made by Fernand Point for the Aga Khan III and served to him in a rare Persian vase that Khan had given the legendary French chef. (However, the fact that the prunes are soaked for two days in port and Bordeaux doesn't quite track with the Islamic part, Monaghan points out.)

Categories     dessert, side dish

Time 20m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

40 large pitted prunes, preferably sulfured
2 cups ruby port
2 cups light red wine, such as Bordeaux
2 cups sugar
Half of a vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped
Salt
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • At least 2 days before serving, place the prunes and port in a glass or ceramic container. Cover and let soak at room temperature for at least 24 hours or longer if possible.
  • Place the prunes and their soaking liquid in a non-reactive saucepan. Add red wine, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then simmer until the prunes are soft and a few start to fall apart, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate covered for at least 24 hours or up to 2 months.
  • To serve, place a few prunes in individual cups and cover with a little heavy cream or vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately.

PRUNES POACHED IN RED WINE



Prunes Poached in Red Wine image

I know what you're thinking: stewed prunes? But this is not that. This is prunes poached in wine, a classic French dessert that you still see on dessert trolleys in bistros all over Paris. Some recipes for it have you soak the prunes in water for up to 12 hours to plump them before poaching, others have you soak them in black tea. Here you let them steep for only five minutes in just-boiled water, which means you don't lose the essence of the prunes to the liquid. Then you poach them in sweetened wine spiced up with a cinnamon stick and vanilla bean, and let them steep again for two hours. The prunes retain their intense flavor, and the wine is both spicy and just sweet enough. Serve the prunes cold or warm; you can also keep them in wine in the refrigerator for a week or two, dipping into them to spoon over ice cream or into yogurt, or just enjoying them on their own.

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound pitted prunes
2 cups red wine, not too tannic (see note)
1/4 cup mild honey, such as clover
1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise
1 cinnamon stick
2 strips orange or lemon zest

Steps:

  • Place prunes in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 5 minutes, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, combine wine and honey in a medium saucepan. Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from the vanilla bean halves into wine and add pods. Add cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Add prunes to wine and bring back to a simmer. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add zest. Remove cinnamon stick.
  • Cover and let sit for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled. Prunes will keep for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

PRUNE CAKE



Prune Cake image

This was the cake I asked my mother to bake me for my birthday each year. Most people would turn up their noses at any food with prunes in it, but oh are they wrong! This cake is wonderful. When my mother had to go to the nursing home, I found her recipe written in the back of an old cookbook. I was so excited and have been baking it ever since. In fact, then I started making it for her. By the way, I lost my Little Mama when she was 95 years old. She was a wonderful cook and passed it down to me.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Bundt Cake Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup pitted prunes
½ cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
1 cup white sugar
½ cup margarine
½ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons corn syrup, such as Karo®

Steps:

  • Combine prunes and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until prunes are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt®).
  • Mix flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, allspice, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Combine vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, and eggs in a separate bowl; pour them into the flour mixture. Mix until fully incorporated. Use an electric mixer to blend in the drained prunes; the mixer will break them up a bit. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven until a tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove cake from oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  • To make icing, combine 1 cup sugar, margarine, 1/2 cup buttermilk, vanilla extract, and corn syrup in a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for a full 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Invert cake onto a platter and pour hot icing over the cake.
