Stewing prunes
« on: June 01, 2013, 08:56:24 am »

Just wondering if someone could help me out with the best way to stew prunes in my thermie? I've looked in the baby and toddler book and the edc but from what I can see most of the stewed fruit ones have you putting the fruit in the tm basket, but prunes are so sticky I thought they would have needed to be in the bowl with water, but as I'm fairly new to my thermomix I'm really not sure what temp or speed I would need to cook them at or for how long. Thanks

Do you have the book Quick Fix in the Thermomix M Saver?  On page 24 Alyce has a recipe for stewed prunes.

Thanks so much, this forum is brilliant - you reply so quickly :)

I don't have that cookbook but will be looking into it I think.

The stewed prunes are for my 6mth old, so I think I'll leave out the orange juice but increase the amount of water by the equivalent and see how I go.

Thank you once again :)
