Notes
Prune Soaking: How long you need to soak will depend on the prunes and your blender. Some may be soft enough to blend with very little soaking.
Smooth/Textured Puree: Add more or less water depending on the consistency you wish the puree to be.
Flavour Variations: Try adding a pinch of allspice, cinnamon, clove, ginger, lemon/orange zest, thyme or vanilla.
