If you are using dried prunes, soak them in boiling water for about 5 minutes until soft, then dry them. Make a longitudinal slit in each prune, leaving one end uncut. This will create a pocket-like opening. Place a quarter of a walnut into each pocket. Reserve some walnuts for garnish. Press the prunes gently with your fingers to close them.
