Prunes (pitted)

Prunes are dried plums, with a sticky, chewy texture and a deep, sweet, slightly tangy flavour concentrated by the drying process. They are eaten on their own as a snack, stewed for compotes, or used in baking, and their natural sweetness and moisture make them useful in some recipes as a partial fat substitute. Their concentrated sweetness sets them apart from fresh plums.

Removing the pit changes the ingredient's weight and how the flesh packs into a cup compared with the whole, unpitted form.
