if you ask the average American to describe what they think a tougher immigration system should look like, they will describe something a degree of magnitude softer and more generous than the current reality.

The lesson here is that people are both better and dumber than they appear.

I think the recipe is written with small prune plums (the ones with very dark skin and almost green flesh) in mind, but also works well with larger varieties. I always just use as many as will snugly fit
