PRUNES POACHED IN RED WINE
I know what you're thinking: stewed prunes? But this is not that. This is prunes poached in wine, a classic French dessert that you still see on dessert trolleys in bistros all over Paris. Some recipes for it have you soak the prunes in water for up to 12 hours to plump them before poaching, others have you soak them in black tea. Here you let them steep for only five minutes in just-boiled water, which means you don't lose the essence of the prunes to the liquid. Then you poach them in sweetened wine spiced up with a cinnamon stick and vanilla bean, and let them steep again for two hours. The prunes retain their intense flavor, and the wine is both spicy and just sweet enough. Serve the prunes cold or warm; you can also keep them in wine in the refrigerator for a week or two, dipping into them to spoon over ice cream or into yogurt, or just enjoying them on their own.

LAMB SHANKS IN RED WINE WITH PRUNES
Earthy. Plummy. Balanced with acidity.These were my descriptions of the South African cabernet sauvignon wines we tasted. They reminded me of just how good cabernet can be when the winemaker does not aim for a skyscraper when 10 stories will do. I wanted to enjoy the wines with lamb, and hearty shanks braised with fruit and spice did the trick. The acid balance in many of the wines gracefully tamed the richness of the sauce. You should figure one shank a person, so try to buy smallish ones, about a pound each. And serve the dish with couscous.

PEARS & PRUNES IN MULLED (WELL, SORT OF) WINE

Steps:
- Cut each pear in half lengthways, and remove the cores.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the base of a large, preferably non-stick, fry pan. Add the butter and heat until the sugar has dissolved into the melted butter. Quickly add in the pears and caramelise until they are soft but still firm and holding their shape. This will take about 10 minutes and you should toss them occasionally. Add the prunes and fry for another minute or so. Now pour in the wine, but be careful as it will spit, so hold the pan away from you, then put it back over a lower heat. Split the vanilla pod in half lengthways using the tip of a sharp knife. Scrape the seeds out into the pan, also with the knife, then toss in the pod and let everything infuse for about 5 minutes.
- Lift out the pears and prunes and set aside, then reduce the wine until it is good and gooey and thick, for about 8-10 minutes. That's it really. Just pop the fruit back in and serve hot or cold with the lemon zest on top.
