Top tip... When eating #prunes, whether dried or in syrup etc., always bite into each one very carefully, as sometimes the stone doesn't always get removed. Knowing this has saved my teeth again today.

The bosc pear and brooks plum. I don't think the bosc will support 1 pear but I'll see what sets and maybe find one low and close to the trunk. The Brooks plum should support a handful of fruit.
One of my favourite snacks as a kid, and even to this day, is 陳皮梅 chénpíméi, preserved prunes with tangerine peel. Definitely one of the reasons for my childhood nicknames, 老人精 "Old Person Spirit" and Little ông già (Vietnamese for old man) 
Doesn't look exactly appealing, kind of like a giant wad of earwax. But I love the balance between the sweetness and sourness and the very slight bitterness from the tangerine peel. Though you probably shouldn't eat too many at once because, you know, prunes.
Also to give a bit of food history, this is apparently what the Mexican sauce Chamoy originally evolved from! 
I'm thinking the Mexicans must have blended a whole bunch of them up and added chilli to spice it up. I knew there was a reason why I gravitated to it!
Eat prunes! Poop like a rhino! Smash the gender binary!
