STEWED PRUNES
I have eaten prunes this way as long as I can remember in my family. My grandmother made stewed prunes this way, my mother did, and I do too. Simple and delicious and taste so nice. Enjoy on their own, or on your breakfast cereal, or with ice cream, or mixed with other fruit.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients into a medium saucepan. Cover. Bring to the boil, give a stir or 2 and then turn the heat down and simmer covered for 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minute cooking time turn the heat off and leave on the stove for 10 minutes. Pour into a dish large enough to contain the contents of the saucepan. Cool. When cool, cover (so nothing in the fridge falls into or spills into the dish), and put in the fridge. Eat!

WALNUT-STUFFED CHOCOLATE-COVERED PRUNES.
This is much nicer than it sounds. It is an elegant and attractive sweet to serve after a dinner and I make it every Easter as it is vegan or 'nistissimo' as the Greeks say. Note that the preparation time is just an estimate.

Steps:
- Slit prunes with a small sharp knife and remove the stones.
- Place pitted prunes in a small bowl and cover them with the cognac and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Open up each prune and insert a walnut half and then press it closed again. The cut sides should stick together and the walnut be completely enclosed.
- Repeat with all prunes.
- Melt chocolate in double boiler and dip each stuffed prune into the melted chocolate with a pair of tongs.
- Place onto a foil-lined tray and sprinkle with remaining walnuts that have been finely chopped.
- Allow to set at room temperature (avoid refrigeration as it takes away the glossy finish and makes them look dull).
- Each piece can be put into a pleated paper cup for an attractive presentation.
- Dried apricots can be substituted for prunes but they are a little drier and harder to stuff.

FLEISCH PERISKY ( MEAT BUNS)
Fleisch perisky are traditionally served warm as a accompaniment for borscht, but they also make an exceptional appetizer or snack. A Mennonite lady in Winnipeg taught me how to make these. At Christmas they are very popular. Not many cooks make these, so if you are one that enjoys making them, you can have many customers. I have made over 300 DOZEN just before Christmas. If you have leftover dough, you can make zweibach or plain buns. These freeze well.

Steps:
- Brown ground beef in a large skillet.
- Melt 1/2 cup margarine in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 2 T. flour, stirring to incorporate.
- Add dry onion soup mixes and water to make a thick gravy.
- Bring to boil.
- Pour gravy over browned beef and simmer for about 1 hour. (I do this in my oven),
- Add fine dry bread crumbs just enough so mixture hold together. Do this just before you start forming your meat buns.
- In my Bosch mixing bowl mix the warm water, sugar and yeast.
- Warm the milk, margarine and lard in the Microwave about 3 - 4 minutes, until marg and lard have melted.
- Add to yeast mixture, and add about 8 cups of flour.
- Allow this to proof, then add salt, egg and remaining flour, just enough to make a soft dough, allowing the machine to kneed the dough.
- Place dough in a large bowl ( I use my tupperware fix-n-mix bowl). Let rise 10 - 15 minutes.
- Form perisky by pinching off pieces of dough the size of a walnut. Flatten the dough in your palm of hand and put about 1 tsp. filling on the dough. Pinch dough around the filling to seal well.
- Place on baking sheets and let rise. You can often starting baking the first pans before you are finished panning the remaining ones.
- Bake at 400 deg. for 10 - 12 minutes or golden brown.
- Enjoy !
