Prunes stuffed with walnuts - useful tips and tricks
The filling will be tastier and more aromatic if the nuts are fried. It is not necessary to use a frying pan. This can be done easily and quickly in the microwave. You just need to watch the kernels, they can burn at any moment.
If a prune is caught with pits, be sure to steam it before removing it. It will be easier to remove the bone and the hole will be neater.

And I thought about what to cook. I thought and thought and remembered a long-forgotten recipe that my mother, my mother’s mother, and so on often prepared. It's hard to say how old this dessert is. The recipe is very simple, because before there were no varieties like there are now, prunes with walnuts in sour cream, it’s very tasty and reminds me of a happy childhood.
The main ingredient is prunes, so choose them very seriously. Choose large, meaty ones that look a little wilted. Another very important point. Cheap prunes, halved, are not suitable for this dessert. Only the one with the hole through which the bone was removed. It is in this hole that we will put the pieces. Be sure to check all the berries if possible. Under no circumstances should there be rot or mold. All berries should be smooth and glossy.
Preparation
Before cooking, soak the prunes in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes. No more. If you bought really high-quality, good prunes, then you don’t need to soak them for a long time.
It needs to be peeled. Be sure to check that not a single shell, even the smallest one, gets into the total mass of nuts. Otherwise, someone may damage their teeth. The peeled nuts can be additionally cut into smaller pieces with a sharp knife to make it more convenient to continue creating our dessert.
Next, you need to put several pieces of walnut into each prune berry. Pack tightly as needed. Afterwards, put the prunes with walnuts in a dessert bowl, which we use to cool the finished dish of whipped prunes with walnuts.
Now let's prepare the sour cream. Beat it with granulated sugar until good, high-quality consistency, and then pour the whipped sour cream over the prunes and walnuts. That's all, our dessert is ready. All that remains is to cool it down. To do this, let’s set the prepared dessert prunes with nuts in sour cream for several hours.
After a few hours, making sure that the prunes in sour cream have cooled properly, lay them out and serve. Particularly impatient people, especially children, eat this dish right away, without letting it sit. It's okay, as long as you like.
Before serving, you can decorate prunes with walnuts in sour cream with candied fruits or pieces of fruit. This time I simply didn’t have time to do anything in this sense. My household said that they were satisfied with everything without any decorations and the dessert disappeared in just a few minutes. It’s understandable, it’s simple and tasty, and most importantly, natural. Bon appetit!

Chop some nuts. Toast the nuts in the oven until golden brown, turning them on all sides with a spatula. Place half of the walnut kernel into the hole of the prune. Connect the edges of the plum with your fingers. In this way, stuff all the plums.
Now you can start filling with sour cream. Sour cream sauce can be prepared in different ways. For example, you can mix raw condensed milk and sour cream in equal proportions and pour it over the dessert. We will make traditional sour cream, which is also suitable for.

The history of the dessert walnuts in prunes with sour cream
Many people trace the appearance of this dish to Soviet times. And every connoisseur has stories related to their first acquaintance:
- tried it during the New Year's feast,
- at a friend's house
- or from immigrants from Ukraine.
In the 90s, people survived as best they could. Trains carrying job seekers came in succession from Ukraine. They brought prunes and walnuts in huge heavy bags. Some gave their vitamin products to resellers for next to nothing.
There were those who were luckier. We are talking about Ukrainians who have friends or relatives in Russia-Belarus. These newly minted traders stayed with their loved ones for several days. They prepared a delicious dessert, prunes with sour cream and nuts, and gave the container to their fellow countrymen. They took the new product to their offices, where they treated their colleagues during lunch breaks.
As a rule, we heard delight about the extraordinary taste of the new dish and complaints that we cannot find high-quality ingredients. The Ukrainians' enterprising assistants immediately offered to buy natural, first-class prunes and nuts from producers. In addition, the recipe and subtleties of preparing the delicacy were explained.
We also will not leave our readers in the dark.
The nuances of creating prunes in sour cream with nuts for dessert
Dried fruits
We take high-quality, large ones. Ideal - dried, pitted, with uniform gloss, black. A brown tint indicates low quality. Such plums are not worth buying.
You can also take dried ones. They are harder and need to be soaked in warm water for several hours.
There are options for the most impatient: boil dried plums in water for about ten minutes. But there is no need to talk about benefits here: vitamins will be destroyed under the influence of high temperature.
Bones
Ideally, as already mentioned, use dried pitted prunes. If dried, the seeds must be removed carefully so as not to damage the fruit.
Nuts
We take walnuts, good quality. It is better to buy in shell, since the shelf life of peeled kernels is minimal. Who can honestly say when they were cleaned?
So, peel the nuts and completely (this is important!) remove the partitions. If such a surprise comes across in dessert, you can say goodbye to your tooth. It's unpleasant, really. It is better to check the kernels twice so as not to upset your guests and loved ones.
There are options where roasted nuts are used. In our opinion, this is not necessary. In authentic recipes, unroasted kernels are used.
Cream for dessert prunes with nuts in sour cream according to famous recipes
There are two known versions of the sauce: sour cream, creamy.
- Sour cream is made from full-fat sour cream and a small amount of sugar. These components are beaten using a mixer. You can add vanillin or cinnamon. These will already be the author's variations.
- Butter cream, accordingly, is prepared from 33% fat cream, whipped with powdered sugar to stable peaks. You can use cream in balloons if you don’t want to bother with a mixer.
- In addition to the mentioned filling options, it will also be delicious with curd or cheese cream. Mascarpone, ricotta, cottage cheese in combination with sugar can quite complement the taste of a dessert made from prunes stuffed with nuts.
