Ingredients:
5 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
12 ounces pitted prunes
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup port wine
1/2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup golden raisins
Directions:
Put all the ingredients, except the raisins, in a saucepan.
Simmer over medium heat until prunes soften, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
Remove cinnamon stick.
Spoon into serving bowl and stir in raisins.
Let stand atleast 2 hours to blend flavours (can be prepared up to 1 week ahead; refrigerate).
Serve cool or at room temperature.
Note: To make these a little more decadent, you could serve in a pretty, fancy glass, with a dollop of greek yoghurt, creme fraiche, or sour cream and a sprinkling of crushed pistachios.
