directions

  • Mix prunes and sugar and cook together in a double boiler until very prune mix is tender-- mush the prunes so sugar will mix well as the mixture cooks.
  • After the prunes are cooked, put mixture into blender and blend well, then cover and refrigerate.
  • When prune mixture is thoroughly chilled, fold in the beaten egg whites.
  • Cover and return to the refrigerator until needed.
  • When ready to serve, put prune mixture into small bowls.
  • Whip the cream until it forms peaks, then spoon onto each dish of prune whip and serve.
  • Note: you may wish to serve this as a "fool" -- an English dessert -- by folding the whipped cream into the mashed fruit.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining. See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
