Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Dried prunes
- 250 ml Fresh orange juice
- 200 ml Dry white wine
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 100 ml Water
Instructions
Place the dried prunes in a medium-sized saucepan.
Add the fresh orange juice, white wine, water, and sugar to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Add the orange zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon stick to the mixture.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
Once the liquid starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Allow the prunes to cook gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are plump and tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick.
Serve the prunes warm or at room temperature, drizzled with the orange wine sauce. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprig of fresh mint.
