Thinking of them as dried plums instead of prunes may also be helpful.

I noticed that Sunsweet has been trying that one.

The dried nectarines are yummy as well. When I can keep myself from
just munching them down plain I like to snip them up with kitchen shears
and simmer them with a can of water-packed sour red pie cherries, adding
brown sugar to taste. Makes a great pie filling, or a side dish to
serve instead of applesauce.

Ooooh. No, can't do cherries. Nectarines, though, I like. The only
problem with them (and with prunes, I'd assume) is that most of the
brands available at grocery stores contain sulfites, which give me
asthma.
