This recipe calls for a specialty machine -- the George Foreman Contact Roaster. I picked one up at a garage sale and was moving through the instruction manual recipes when I came across this one. I would think that it would be easy enough to convert to stove top or slow cooker. . . Finally, we dropped the prunes (not because they tasted bad, but because the texture was unpleasantly surprising to me).
