Sugar Plums

MAKES: 5 dozen

PREP: 5 Min

Like the old holiday story goes, "The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads." Now there's no need to simply have visions of these in our heads 'cause it's as simple as can be to make them a tasty addition to your holiday table.

What You'll Need

1 package (24 ounces) large pitted prunes
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup blanched almonds, finely chopped
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

What to Do

With a knife, make a small slit in each prune.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut and almonds; mix well. Stuff the coconut mixture equally into the prunes.
In a large plastic storage bag, toss the stuffed prunes and confectioners' sugar in batches until all the prunes are well coated.
Serve, or store in layers in an airtight container with waxed paper between each layer.

Notes

If you're not serving these right away, you may need to sprinkle them with additional confectioners' sugar before serving because the prunes will absorb the sugar while they're in storage. (They're full of sugar, so I guess that's how they got their name!)

Interesting. I love plums and I knew that prunes are dried plums but I would never have imagined that sugar plums would start with prunes. I too, like Delphine Bryant never knew that there was such a thing as sugar plums. Well, this coming Christmas, guess what the new item to the table will be?

I am well aware of the Christmas poem that is associated with Sugar Plums but I did not think that they were a real thing. I am intrigued to discover that sugar plums are actually prunes. Who would of thunk it?
