    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Ingredients
    • ½ cup pitted prunes
    • ¼ cup hot water
    Instructions
    1. Puree the prunes and water in a blender until smooth. This will have a strong flavor, and thus is best suited to heavily spiced baked goods (i.e. gingerbread) or chocolate-based desserts. Substitute other dried fruit such as apples, peaches, and apricots for half of the prunes for a flavor and nutrient variation.

      Thanks so much for your advice. I am looking forward to playing around with it. I love prunes and am happy to eat up any mistakes……

      Is 1/2 cup prunes 1/4 cup water the correct amounts to replace 1 cup butter?
      And do you have the equivalents in grams? (I am in the uk and don’t use cup measures.)

        Hi Helen, it’s been a while since I made this. I will test again soon just to verify. But if I remember correctly, it does increase in volume to make close to 1 cup. I looked it up, and 1/2 cup prunes appears to be about 125g prunes. It helps to let the prunes soak in the water for at least 10 minutes before blending.
