weight until firm, then cut in any
shape desired. Melted chocolate
may be added to mixture before
moulding if desired.
Stuffed Prunes-Steam one pound
prunes and remove stones. Stuff part
of the prunes, each with another
prune, stuff other with chopped
salted nuts, or stuff with a mixture
of one cup each raisins and walnuts
