LEKVAR (PRUNE FILLING OR PRUNE BUTTER)
This prune filling is a cooked, thick jam or spread (like apple butter) that can be used to fill cakes, cookies or used as a jam on toast or muffins. Growing up I ate delectable prune-filled pastries thanks to my Slovak grandma! Smelling this while it is slowly cooking on the stove reminds me of her. Keep this covered in the...

Steps:
- 1. Combine everything into a saucepan (except brown sugar) and cook on low heat, stirring every few minutes. Heat to boiling.
- 2. Lower heat to simmer, cover pan and cook for 20 minutes, stirring every few mins.
- 3. Remove lip from pan and add brown sugar. Cook, reducing liquid and stirring every few minutes. Be sure not to scorch. Mash with a wooden spoon until prunes are soft and broken up and mixture is thick until the consistency is like oatmeal (about 20 more minutes so be patient). It will thicken more when cooled.

Steps:
- In a small pot, add the prunes and water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the water boils, turn the heat down and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes to soften the prunes. Using a strainer or a slotted spoon, remove the prunes and place them in a mixing bowl or a mini food processor, reserving the prune water.
- Place the prunes, orange zest and juice, sugar and 2 teaspoons of the reserved prune water in the bowl of a mini food processor. Pulse until mostly smooth - a few pieces of prune are ok. If using a hand blender or potato masher, put all ingredients in a bowl and proceed to blend. Taste for flavor and notice the texture. If it seems too thick to use easily, add the third teaspoon of the prune water.
- If using nuts, place the mixture in a bowl and mix in nuts. Add about half and see how you like the texture. Use the rest if you want a nuttier result.
