The Dynamic Duo: California Prunes and Honey

First things first – let’s talk about the stars of the show. California Prunes, known for their rich, sweet flavor and chewy texture, team up with golden honey to create a delightful taste sensation. It’s a match made in culinary heaven – the natural sweetness of prunes complemented by a touch of honey.

The Prune + Honey Marmalade Recipe That Will Make Your Taste Buds Dance

Creating your own California Prune Honey Marmalade is easier than you might think. Gather your ingredients and get ready to whip up your new favorite condiment. Here’s our simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces California prunes
• 1/2 cup California honey
• 2 cups water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine the chopped prunes, honey, water, and salt.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
4. Remove from heat and let it cool. The marmalade will continue to thicken as it cools.
5. The prunes will melt into the mixture, creating a relatively smooth marmalade. But if you prefer a totally smooth marmalade, puree in a blender. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks

Spread this rich concoction on toast, dollop it on yogurt, or get creative with your own creations – the possibilities are as endless as your imagination!
