Prune Purée is a game-changer for healthy cooking and baking! Naturally sweet and packed with fiber, it’s the perfect swap for refined sugar and fats—adding richness to everything from smoothies and sauces to muffins and marinades. With just a few simple steps, you can make a batch at home and always have this versatile ingredient ready to use. So, what will you whip up first? A batch of fudgy brownies or a savory balsamic glaze?
Soak the prunes in hot water for 10 minutes to soften. Make sure all prunes are covered by the hot water and cover the soaking bowl with a lid.
Transfer the prunes and water to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
