Italian Prunes Good Choice for Canning
Italian prunes are high quality and well priced for canning. Nutritionist Jewel Graham from Town State College notes they are easy to can and will be colorful for winter desserts. Prepare by halving or keeping whole, wash well, and process in a raw pack boiling water bath for 20 minutes with a medium or heavy syrup.
