How to Make Prunes In Port
- Rinse 1 pound of prunes and place them in a bowl. Pour in 1 cup of ruby port wine, ensuring the prunes are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
- The next morning, drain the prunes (reserve the port liquid). In a saucepan, combine the soaked prunes, ½ cup of the reserved port liquid, 1/4 cup of sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference), 1 vanilla bean (split lengthwise and seeds scraped), and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prunes are plump and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove the vanilla bean. Carefully transfer the prunes and sauce to sterilized glass jars, leaving a small headspace. Seal tightly and allow to cool completely.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or in a cool, dark pantry for up to 3 months. Enjoy as a delightful snack, dessert with custard or ice cream, or a thoughtful homemade gift!
