Cook Mode(Keep screen awake)
Ingredients
2 heaping teaspoons Darjeeling or other black tea leaves
2cupsboiling water
½cuppacked light brown sugar
1 1/4 pounds pitted prunes, (dried plums)
1 cup Armagnac, or cognac
1vanilla bean, cut in half
Directions
Stir tea and water in a small bowl; let steep for 5 minutes. Strain into a medium saucepan; stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Place prunes in a large bowl; stir in hot syrup. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Drain prunes, reserving liquid separately. Whisk Armagnac (or cognac) into the liquid. Pack each sterilized jar with half the prunes. Nestle half the vanilla bean in each jar. Pour 1/2 cup of the Armagnac mixture into each jar. Seal and turn upside down to blend ingredients. Set right side up and store in the refrigerator for 1 week to plump.
Tips
TipRefrigerate the prunes in sealed jars for up to 2 months. When giving, include a card with serving suggestions: “Spoon these ‘drunken prunes' over vanilla frozen yogurt, mascarpone cheese or plain yogurt.”

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
