Slave
was talking to an old friend who grew up in St. Louis in the 40's.
She told me of an old bohemian dish called “Powidl”. This
wonderful old recipe has been updated to make a sweet jam-like spread
that has a very low glycemic index of 29 per serving!
Spoon
this on top of plain Greek yogurt or oatmeal or even ice cream if
you’re wild and crazy. Add a dollop onto a crescent roll before
rolling it up! As a child I remember it served on buttered bread with
its juice dripped over it. Palacinky, an egg and milk based pancake
topped with jam, is a common treat. Smear the thin pancake with jam
and roll it up! A filling, healthy, breakfast, desert, or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 lbs pitted prunes
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup orange juice
- 4 Tbs brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½
teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Place
the prunes in a medium saucepan.
Add
the rest of ingredients.
Bring
to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30
minutes,
until prunes are soft and swimming in syrup. Check occasionally to
make sure it does not boil dry, if low add more water.
This allows the syrup to thicken and flavors to develop.
As a child, I loved to place a piece of lightly buttered bread upside down and spoon this on top! Heaven! If you wish, take a fork and mash up the prunes and juice into a paste to spread.
Serve alone or as you wish! Some books call this Hamantaschen Prune Filling.
