Hello To, All My Dear Readers, My Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Hope you are keeping well as usual. Today I am writing about Plums and Prunes as some of you had asked!

Plums and prunes are impressively high in nutrients. They contain over 15 different vitamins and minerals, in addition to fiber and antioxidants. Prunes are also high in magnesium and vitamin B6. Overall, the vitamin and mineral content of one serving of plums and prunes differs slightly. Prunes contain more vitamin K than plums and are somewhat higher in B vitamins and minerals.

If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can also use your oven at its lowest setting. Be sure to prepare a few baking sheets with parchment paper or a very light coating of quality oil. A solar oven can also be used for making prunes if it is properly vented. Clean the solar oven thoroughly and prepare baking sheets accordingly.

If you have any concern that your prunes may not be completely dry, store your softer batches in the fridge and eat them inside a month. It’s a fine line between still wet and just soft, so do your best to judge and just keep practicing until you get a feel for it. I

I love sugar plums smaller and very tasty excellent for digestion. Don’t have to make prunes unless those like to preserve and into liking cookery as a hobby 🙂

Both fresh and dried plums contain fiber and antioxidants. They may help reduce constipation and benefit your overall health. Plums contain many vitamins and minerals, in addition to fiber and antioxidants that may help reduce your risk of several chronic diseases. You can consume plums fresh or dried. Dried plums, or prunes, are known for improving several health conditions, including constipation.

Plums are a healthy, low-calorie snack. But what happens when your backyard tree produces more fresh plums than your family can consume? One solution is drying plums in the oven or a food dehydrator to make prunes. If you’ve never tried making prunes, don’t fret. Follow the simple instructions below and your family will be enjoying dried plums all winter long.

Before jumping in and learning how to make prunes, first consider whether or not you have a suitable type of plum for drying. Not all plums make good prunes.

How to Make Prunes

Learning how to dry prunes safely is not difficult. For the best results, start with freshly-harvested, mature plums in good condition (no mold, bruising or decay). Wash and dry the plums gently. 

Small plums can be dried whole, but the resulting prunes will contain pits. In order for whole plums to dehydrate properly, the skins must be cracked by dipping the plums in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Cool the fruit quickly by submerging in ice water, then continue with the following instructions for how to dry prunes:

• Pre-treat plums to retain color – Soak whole or pitted, halved plums in a pretreatment solution for 3-5 minutes. This solution can be made by mixing equal parts of lemon juice and water. 
• Arrange the plums on drying trays – Remove the plums from the pre-treatment solution and drain thoroughly. Then place the plums (skin side down to prevent sticking) in a single layer on the drying racks. Leave space around each plum for air to circulate.

• Select the drying temperature and time – Place the drying racks in the oven or dehydrator and set the thermostat to 140 degrees F. (60 C.) Pitted, halved plums will take 24 to 36 hours to dry in a dehydrator. Expect longer times for whole plums or when drying plums in the oven.
• Test for doneness – To promote even drying, turn or rotate the fruit every 3 to 4 hours. Properly dried fruit will feel leathery and be pliable. Check for doneness by squeezing a few pieces of cooled fruit in your hand. If they stick together or ooze moisture, continue drying. 
• Condition – This conditioning process evenly distributes the residual moisture throughout the prunes and prevents spoilage when stored. To condition prunes, place them in a lightly-covered glass or plastic bowl for 4 to 10 days. Stir or shake daily. If droplets of moisture appear inside the container, repeat the drying and conditioning process.

To store prunes, place small portions of dried and conditioned plums into vapor-tight jars, containers or plastic bags. Store them in a cool, dry, dark place and use within 6 to 12 months.

I hope you learnt some goot tips to eat plums and or prunes. If by chance some of you can’t get fresh You can Eat fresh or make juice at home:
