My mother used to make what she called "prune stew"; beef pot roast with 
prunes and citric acid (she bought citric acid sold in the spice section 
as "sour salt", but I find the best current source is winery supply 
stores). The combination gives an excellent sweet-sour flavor. I don't 
remember precise quantities, she just knew how much she used. Maybe I'll 
go make some, using my best memory of the quantities.
