How to Make Spiced Prunes

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted prunes and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan.
  2. In a small square of cheesecloth, place 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Tie the cheesecloth securely to form a spice bag.
  3. Add the spice bag to the saucepan. Cover, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until prunes are plump and slightly softened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Remove the spice bag.
  5. Let the prunes cool completely before transferring them to an airtight glass jar. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled. Enjoy!
