This is a recipe for us OLD TIMERS. I just thought it would be nice to have a tiny sweet appetizer before all that heavy, savory food at Thanksgiving. These are really just orange cream cheese stuffed prunes, but my mother always said,"In the Restaurant business if you want it to sell, Give the Baby a pretty name."
