I sliced into a loaf of autumn zucchini bread, that I made yesterday, to serve with stewed prunes for Dick's and my breakfast this morning. If you had an aversion to prunes as a kid, give them another go-round. You may discover that your attitude toward them has changed over the years.

Stewed Prunes

Makes about six ½-cup servings.

2 cups prunes, pitted or not

2 ½ cups water or orange juice

Combine prunes and water in saucepan. Cover and simmer gently until prunes are soft, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Among other valuable nutrients, each serving has 4 grams of fiber.
