Place cheese slices side-by-side on the meat, close to the side in front of you. Add whole prunes side-by-side on top of the cheese. Fold the meat carefully and tightly around the long edge. With the help of the parchment paper or plastic wrap, form a loaf around 9” long. Unfold the parchment paper. Slide the meat log to the closer part of the parchment paper.
