INSTRUCTIONS

The prunes and pickled walnuts provide just the sweet and sharp
contrast that complements the flavour of venison so well.  Put the
flour, salt and a good grinding of pepper into a bowl. Toss  the pieces
of venison in the seasoned flour to coat. Heat the oil in  a heavy
flameproof casserole and brown the meat, a few pieces at a  time;
remove the browned meat and keep it warm while you brown the  rest.
When all the meat is browned, add the onions to the casserole  and cook
them until they are soft and translucent, 5-10 minutes. Stir  in the
wine and water, scraping the bits off the bottom of the  casserole with
a wooden spoon. When the liquid is simmering. replace  the browned meat
in the casserole, and stir in the pickled walnuts  and prunes. Cover
the casserole with a lid, and cook in a preheated  moderate oven
(350Ã¸F / 180Ã¸C / gas 4) for an hour. Let the  casserole cool
completely, then store in the refrigerator overnight.  Cook it for a
further hour at the same temperature before serving.  All stews and
casseroles benefit in flavour from reheating. "Lady  MacDonald's
