California Prunes have long been recognised by chefs and cooks as a high quality, great tasting ingredient. Unlike so many other calorific ingredients, California Prunes are low in fat and calories and make a great addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Nigella Lawson famously names prunes as “squashed teddy bear noses” and they feature in her delicious recipe for Chocolate Christmas Cake. With only 20 days until Christmas why not try some of our recipes for the Christmas season including:

California Prunes are low in fat and as well as being a versatile ingredient, can also be used as a substitute for butter or oil when cooking. Just blend some prunes with water to make a puree, which will add moisture without adding calories. Try adding prune puree to homemade burgers or muffins for a sweet and juicy low fat treat!
