The combination of prunes and walnuts is familiar to many, but a simple-looking treat conceals other flavors.
The recipe for prunes stuffed with walnuts, known since Soviet times, does not look exactly like this one. In the classic version, it is customary not to water the fruits, but to pour sour cream mixed with a generous portion of sugar or condensed milk so that they literally drown in it. Here, sour cream plays more of a sauce role, and this has a very pleasant effect on the calorie content of the dessert. In Soviet times, this dessert often decorated New Year's tables, and it was usually served as a snack.

Steps 7-10 can be completely skipped if the dish is being prepared for children. Or simply do not add wine to the syrup. Also, the preparation of syrup can be skipped if there is no time to cook this dessert for longer than 10 minutes. But with syrup, dessert turns out much tastier. I tried different versions of this dessert. This option seems to me to be one of the most delicious. By the way, this is how this dessert is prepared in Moldova.

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.

Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.
