Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Put the prunes in a good sized saucepan, preferably heavy-bottomed. |
| 2 | Pour in enough water to cover the prunes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it cook over a “hard simmer/light boil.” |
| 3 | Monitor the consistency and add more water if needed to prevent scorching. |
| 4 | Once the prunes are soft, puree them in a food processor until smooth. |
| 5 | If the puree is runny, cook it until thickened to your desired consistency. |
| 6 | Prepare the dough according to the recipe (#20108) or halve the recipe and use it to fill with prune filling. |
| 7 | Follow the filling and crimping directions provided in the recipe (#20108). |
| 8 | Boil the perogies in water until they float, then drain them. |
| 9 | Optionally, fry the perogies in butter for added flavor. |
| 10 | Serve the perogies with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or your favorite topping. |
| 11 | Any leftover filling can be frozen for future use. |
Tips:
- To prevent the prunes from scorching, stir them occasionally while cooking.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your preference.
- For a richer flavor, consider frying the perogies in butter until golden brown.
- Experiment with different toppings such as whipped cream, caramel sauce, or powdered sugar for a personalized touch.
