From video: This Instant Pot Hack Makes Prunes Taste Like Dessert
Published: March 23, 2026

Video Description

Who knew prunes could actually taste DELICIOUS? In this video, Chef AJ shares her simple Instant Pot hack for making stewed prunes that taste so good, you could almost put them on ice cream. After major oral surgery left her needing a gentle, natural solution to get things moving again, she discovered that stewed prunes are far more effective than dried prunes or prune juice — and with the right ingredients, they're actually something you'll look forward to eating. All you need is: 🫙 1 lb pitted dried prunes (no sulfites) 💧 3 cups water (boiling for faster results) 🫘 Vanilla bean powder 🫘 Cinnamon 🍋 1 tbsp lemon juice Cook on high pressure for just 5 minutes, let it natural release for 10 minutes, stir in the lemon juice, and you're done. Store in the fridge and enjoy a few each day. 👉 Want even more sweetness? Swap some or all of the water for unsweetened apple or orange juice. 🎉 Chef AJ's Birthday Gift to YOU!
