Recipe developed by Jackie Newgent

8	California prunes, diced
1 cup	100% prune or apple juice
2 1/2 tbsp	fresh lime juice (divided)
2	Hass avocados, peeled, pitted, and cubed
1/4 cup	finely diced red onion
1	small jalapeño pepper, with some seeds, minced
3 tbsp	chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove	garlic, minced (optional)
1/2 tsp	sea salt
1/4 tsp	ground coriander
1/4 tsp	ground cumin

Step 1
Add the diced prunes, prune juice, and 1 tbsp of the lime juice to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let simmer until the prunes are softened and juicy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the prunes through a mesh strainer and let stand in the strainer for at least 15 minutes to fully drain and cool. Reserve the juice for other culinary purpose.
Step 3
To a medium bowl, add the avocados, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic (if using), salt, coriander, cumin, and the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice. Gently stir (do not smash avocado) until just combined.
Step 4
Add the prunes and gently stir until evenly combined. Adjust seasoning, and serve.
