The Recipe is from my Grandmother. She got it from a Garden club back in the 1940s.

It is very good heated up with a bit of butter on top

anything is better with butter

Stewed prunes and orange slices - Mom used to make that every Christmas. Why Christmas ?

maybe because the ingredients were expensive in those days? i know my momma never made ambrosia except at christmas, even being in florida at that time oranges were hard to come by, not to mention the coconut that momma shredded to put into it

ron, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves?, just to make sure, i think a tablespoon would overpower it but better safe than sorry

Yes! 1\4 tsp of cloves. Sorry about that-- old family recipes are like this one sometimes

Nice Job!

You will get faster the more you bake

Thanks Ron!

I sure hope so cause it's annoying constantly taking hours to make anything.

Yes! I should plant one if I can find just one. They usually sell them in orchard quantities.

what about looking on the net for someone who sells them, like stark brothers, they might have them and we've ordered fruit trees from them before, not cheap but good quality

The problem is I do not know how long I will be here. I might move when I retire.

I suppose I could plant in a pot for now though

ron, stark does have one they call stanley prune plum and if you type in french prune plum different companies come up, but aren't cheap but you could have them shipped to you if calif allows it
