These prunes make a truly delicious, light sweet. An added plus is that they really take care of the clogged plumbing ;-). Very good for kids having that problem as they think they're just having their dessert.

I'm not a big fan of prunes, but I really enjoyed this compote. The sweetness of the prunes was balanced out by the tartness of the lemon juice and the spices.
