About

Hungary provides perfect growing conditions for plums, known as szilvás, and the country is one of the world’s major producers. Unsurprisingly, therefore, Hungarians love plums, and when in season they preserve them or dry them for the winter months. This is a traditional, simple winter dessert using prunes.
