Grapes

Prunes cooked in this way are delicious. It takes a little time to prepare them, but is worth the trouble. Take two pounds of ripe Muscatel grapes, wash, strip from the bunches into a saucepan, add a very little water (distilled) and stew gently until tender, crushing the grapes to extract all the flavor and juice, then strain. Wash a pound of prunes, cover with the grape juice and stew until the prunes absorb most of the juice. Or the prunes and grapes can be stewed together, the grapes crushed and the seeds skimmed off as they rise to the top.
