Prune Perfection ©1927

Serves 8

1 package Orange Jell-O
1 pint boiling water
1 pound prunes, dried
1 cup sugar
Whipped cream to garnish

Soak prunes overnight in water to cover. Simmer at low heat until tender. Add sugar just before removing from fire. Drain prunes. Add water to prune juice to make 1 pint. Heat to boiling. Dissolve Jell-O in it. Cut prunes fine and remove pits. Reserve pits from 1 cup prunes, crack and save kernels. Pour boiling water over these to blanch them; cut fine. When Jell-O is cold add prune pulp and nuts. Mold and serve plain or with whipped cream.
