Prunes!

[english rose]

Just bought a tin of prunes for little one.

Never bought/eaten prunes in my life! If I mouli some, could I freeze some portions, or would you keep them in fridge and use over a few days?

My lo has been having some very soft dried prunes to help, ahem, move things along (!) and tbh I haven't even put them through a mouli, just chopped them very very finely and added them to yogurt or porridge etc and she has been fine with them. Not sure if it is different for fresh ones though as they may need to be used quickly if you open the tin. I can recommend the dry ones if it helps!

I give Evie one dried prune chopped in her porridge or fromage frais every few days and it seems to work!
