As I was getting ready to put away Mom's notebook that I referenced in an earlier post, I saw this recipe. I dare you Camper's to make it....I'll be eagerly awaiting your verdict on how it tastes! Oh, and for the record, I don't remember my mother ever making this, thank God.
Prune Medallion Pudding
Dissolve 1 package Raspberry (jello?) in 1 pint hot water and prune juice. Add 4 tablespoons sugar, dash each of salt and cinnamon, 1/3 cup cut raisins, and 1 cup cut cooked prunes. Chill until slightly thickened, then fold in 1/4 cup broken nut meats. Turn into mold. Serves 6.

This is a premptive strike.
No Jenny you may not make this.
That is, I won't eat it.
Make it if you must.

And where are the medallions?
Don't worry, TG. Despite easy access to any number of jello-based "salad" recipes from church suppers of yore, I have no intention of ever serving one.
Pass the lime-pistachio whip, please.
i like the ambiguity of the directive "turn into mold"- either no one will eat it because it's jello with prunes and will be better when turned into mold, or putting it into a jello mold will disguise it as some pretty prune jiggle castle and people will wolf it down.
I don't understand the "broken nut meats." Because if that direction wasn't used, I would most likely throw in the entire nut, shell and all. In fact, why waste time cracking the nuts just swallow the entire tree limb. Not only does it save time but you don't have worry if the "nut meats" are broken enough to satisfy this otherwise divinely scrumptious recipe.
Nick's method would also enhance the, shall we say, fibrous qualities of the 1 cup cooked prunes. Eew.
Prune jiggle castle!
Okay campers....you KNOW this is getting made now, don't you?
The Reenactor has promised to make it at his first convenience. Photos of the pudding will be posted.
No wonder the music from WWII was so bouncy and peppy....everyone was eating prune pudding and jiggling around trying to get to the one bathroom in the house!
I was just reading a book about "nuts". No, it's not what you think! Apparently, oak nuts, or acorns are very good for you to have and have been used in several places all across the world for thousands of years. They were even used to make flour for breads . shley may know something about this.Maybe some grunched up acorns would be more interesting in the recipe. Plus...they are easy to find in the woods you campers!!!Only the squirrals will know for sure.
