Stewed Prunes in Orange Juice is on the menu tonight for dessert over ice cream.
How to Stew Prunes in Orange Juice:
The flavor of prunes ripens nicely when stewed in tea, and we will take advantage of that fact along with the orange juice to impart amazing flavor into the prunes, as well as leaving you with a flavorful fruit cordial & tea blend to enjoy afterwards.
