The rich flavors of ginger and warm baking spices comes through in these chewy, crunchy crinkle cookies, so much so that no one notices that they're made without butter, eggs, or molasses. Taking the place of those standard ginger-cookie ingredients is Dried Plum Puree. It binds together the dry ingredients with the oil and adds sweetness with less added sugar for an easy-to-use, delicious vegan cookie.

Mangetout is a French salad made with young garden peas while they're still in the pod. The easiest way to make this salad when you don't have access to a garden is to use tender snow peas or snap peas. It’s a refreshing salad and makes a great accompaniment to any meal. You can use prunes in two ways: drizzle a little Fresh Plum Concentrate into the vinaigrette for tangy sweetness or simply mix in prunes.
