PRUNES IN PORT

I know people that have this with their cornflakes :) Personaly I like them as a snack, but they are great as a quick dessert with custard or ice cream. I pour the prunes into sterilised glass jars, and they keep for months. If you want these as gifts you can easily double the recipe.

SPICED ITALIAN PLUMS (PRUNES) IN PORT

Spiced Italian Plums (Prunes) in Port image

We have an old Italian prune tree in the front yard that is usually loaded every year. We fix many of them this way, and have wonderfully sweet, spicy prunes for breakfast all year. We usually spend a whole weekend canning prunes and making apple butter. (another old tree in the yard). Any type plum would most likely work.
