Prune and Walnut log - recipe lost

Hi all,

I used to have a fantastic recipe for a prune and walnut log simmilar to this one

http://www.pastillanash.com/log.html

It was really lovely and required a turn on the stovetop. Can anyone reccomend any recipes around that might acheve something simmilar? I have a lunch party coming up really soon and would love to serve it on a cheeseboard.

Many thanks,

    Try thoroughly combing a pound of minced prunes with 1/4 cup brown sugar, about 1/4 pound (perhaps slightly more) chopped walnuts and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
    Wet your hands and spread in even layer on waxed paper. Use the waxed paper to tightly roll the log, pulling the waxed paper from between layers as you proceed.
    Wrap final log in parchment paper and place in slow oven (approx. 125 degrees or slightly lower if you can control your oven that closely) for about 45 minutes to one hour. Turn off the oven and let it cool.
    Remove from oven, wrap the cooled log in waxed paper and refrigerate for 24 hours or until firm enough to slice.
