How to Make Spiced Prunes
- Combine 1 cup pitted prunes and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Remove the spice bag.
- Let the prunes cool completely before transferring them to an airtight glass jar. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled. Enjoy!
