STEWED PRUNES
8 servings
Bergamot-flavored Earl Grey tea is especially nice here, providing a tannic contrast to the sweet prunes.
Cover with cold water in a saucepan:
- 1 pound pitted prunes
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Add:
- ¼ cup sugar, or more to taste
- (2 bags Earl Grey tea)
- (½ lemon, sliced)
- (1 cinnamon stick)
Cook 10 minutes more. Serve warm or chilled.
