"An old-fashioned favorite that will surely bring back memories of good old home cooking. You can omit the ginger if you don’t like a gingery taste and you can add other ingredients such as walnuts and almonds. You can also add a half cup of mashed squash to add a neutral sweetness to the filling. You can top the prune roll with vanilla glaze too if you’re feeling fancy."
