I know people that have this with their cornflakes :) Personaly I like them as a snack, but they are great as a quick dessert with custard or ice cream. I pour the prunes into sterilised glass jars, and they keep for months. If you want these as gifts you can easily double the recipe.
Ingredients:
40 pitted prunes
2 cups port wine (i use cask old port)
2 cups red wine (i use a lambrusco type)
1/2 vanilla bean
1 cup sugar
Directions:
1. soak prunes in the port overnight.
2. next morning combine everything and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionaly.
3. take out vanilla bean. (You can wash it and use it again).
4. bottle, or store in the fridge.
