How to Make Prunes In Orange Wine Sauce

Combine 1 cup pitted prunes, 1 cup orange wine, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, and a pinch of ground cloves in a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the prunes are tender, stirring occasionally.
Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
Gently stir in 1/4 cup raisins.
Transfer the prune mixture to a serving bowl and let it stand for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
Serve the prunes in orange wine sauce chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
