How to Make Aracia Mahshia Bil Goz Walnut Stuffed Prunes

1. Brew 3 cups of very strong black tea (such as Irish Breakfast) in a kettle.
2. Pour the hot tea into a large bowl.
3. Add 1 pound (450g) of pitted prunes to the bowl and soak overnight.
4. The next day, gently remove the prunes from the tea using a slotted spoon and set aside on a clean work surface.
5. In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining tea (about 2-2.5 cups after soaking prunes) and 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar.
6. Bring the tea mixture to a boil over high heat.
7. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tea reduces to a thin syrup consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
8. While the syrup simmers, stuff each prune with a large walnut half.
9. Arrange the stuffed prunes in a large, shallow bowl or platter in concentric circles.
10. Pour the cooled tea syrup evenly over the prunes.
11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
12. Serve chilled, garnished with a dollop of crème fraîche. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
