Prune (alo Bukhara)

Prunes once were a time when these black sticky fruits were synonymous with school dinners, loathed by many, loved by few. But now the humble prune has shrugged off its wrinkly image to its growing popularity as more people become aware of their health benefiting effects. Previously only known for their laxative properties, prunes are a high fibre fruit, rich in Antioxidants and iron. In France, prunes soaked in Armagnac are a traditional accompaniment to foie gras. In Russian Jewish family, prunes appeared with regularity at festive times -- at the holiday dinner table in the form of fruit compote, or enhancing the already popular brisket. Still candy bowls filled with individually wrapped chocolate-covered prunes is a delicacy reserved for special occasions. Now more than ever, professional culinarians and armchair foodies appreciate the diverse applications of this flavorful and meaty fruit. Prunes have been found to be equally at home in a bittersweet chocolate and stout beer bundt cake as they are in a savory Moroccan rice dish with almonds, Apricots and dried currants.
