Prune (plum) dumplings

Dumplings Chinese cuisine

This is an old recipe my grandmother used to make. I think every Eastern European country has its own version. This is the adapted variation according to my taste. You could use other dry fruit like apricots, or fresh plums for example. You could also make spiced breadcrumbs by adding cinnamon, or cardamom. It can be a dessert, or an appetizer, but also a side dish. <br />If your prunes are dry and shriveled soak them in water before using them. The serving dressing will not be very tasty if you use regular vanilla extract (it contains large amount of alcohol). Instead use the non-alcohol, or a very low alcohol Mexican vanilla extract, or similar.
