How to Make Stewed Prunes

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted prunes, 2 cups cold water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the prunes are tender and the liquid has reduced to a syrupy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. (Optional) For a richer flavor, simmer for a longer period, reducing the liquid to your desired consistency.
  5. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
