PRUNE PIE
This recipe is more like a giant prune turnover. This is found on many of the pueblos here in NM, and is a great dessert. The crust is more like a cross between a cookie and bread. This recipe is from a small pamphlet called "Sampling New Mexico Foods" printed in 1983, for the E. J. Martinez Elementary School. This recipe is definitely one for those who like to experiment. Many of the ingredients are approximate, as are the prep and cooking times. It's been years since I made this. I've usually seen it done such that the cinnamon is dusted over the top of the crust, instead of added to the prunes.

Steps:
- For Crust: Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in butter and cream cheese until coarse meal forms. With machine running, pour just enough water down feed tube to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead.)
- For Filling: Mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Mix in pears, prunes and figs. Sprinkle brandy over and mix well. Let stand 15 minutes to allow juices to form.
- Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400° F. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 14-inch-diameter round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish; gently press dough into place. Spoon filling into crust, mounding slightly in center. Roll out second dough disk on lightly floured surface to 14-inch-diameter round. Drape dough over filling. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Press edges together to seal and fold under. Crimp edge decoratively. Brush top of crust (but not edge) with glaze. Cut several small slits in crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake pie until crust is golden brown and pears are tender when pierced through steam vents, about 50 minutes. Cool slightly and serve.
PRUNE WHIP PIE
Whips are desserts made of sugar and stiffly beaten egg whites or cream and usually flavored with fruit. Prune whip can be viewed as not only a treat to enjoy at the end of a meal, but also a delicious way to add fiber to the daily consumption of food. Top this treat with a little lightly sweetened whipped cream or good vanilla ice cream. From the Western chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

Steps:
- Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to a large rectangle roughly 45 x 30cm, then transfer to a baking tray. Arrange the bacon on top, overlapping the slices, and spoon over a thick layer of the apple sauce, cranberry or marmalade.
- Make one box of stuffing according to pack instructions. Mix the sausagemeat and stuffing together and spread it over the sauce layer, leaving a 1cm border all the way round. Spoon over a little more sauce.
- Blend the turkey and chicken in a food processor, then spread that over to form the next layer, leaving a 1cm border all the way round. Spoon over a final thin layer of cranberry or apple sauce.
- Stone and mash the prunes. Make the second box of stuffing with three-quarters of the water recommended on the packet (as the prunes will add moisture). Mix in the prunes and arrange the stuffing down the middle in a fat sausage shape.
- Carefully roll up the pie, brush the seal with beaten egg and turn so the seal is at the bottom, tucking the ends under. Bake for 20 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6, or 40 mins at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 until golden and cooked through. Slice. Demolish. Enjoy.

PRUNE PIE (KATRINPLOMMONPAJ)
Received this lovely recipe in an email from gourmet_recipes_from_around_the_world ( thank you Bjorn Holstrom). Prunes with pits intact are becoming difficult to find in the litigious US. Pity as the pits have a delicate almond-like essence to their kernels. Using hot water to plump the prunes will decrease the 12 hour (interpret as overnight in my book) soaking time as will using pitted prunes (which can melt if let to soak beyond 15 to 30 minutes in hot water). I love the use of canned almond paste in this recipe - use your favorite crust if this one seems a bit spartan. I certainly would use chilled fat of choice & chill whatever dough I was using after shaping into a round - seems to yield a better crsut.

Steps:
- Put prunes in water for 12 hours. When they're soft, you cut them in half and remove the stones. Use shortened soak for pitted prunes (more ubiquitous here in US).
- Coarsely grate the almond paste and mix with creme fraiche or sour cream and grated lemon peel.
- Chop together flour, fat, and water with a knife or in a food processor to a smooth dough. Roll it out on a floured pastry board and put in a pie dish with a diameter of about 9".
- Fill the pie crust with the almond mixture and press on the prunes. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake at 225C/425F in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes.

BRANDIED PEAR, PRUNE AND FIG PIE
The secret to the light and flaky crust is cream cheese. For an extra-special presentation, cut out decorative shapes from the dough scraps, and arrange them on the pie after glazing it; brush cutouts with glaze and bake.
