Prunes in Armagnac

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried prunes
• 1 cup Armagnac brandy
• 1/4 cup sugar (optional, for a sweeter infusion)

Steps:

1. Prepare Prunes: If the prunes are not pitted, remove the pits. Place the prunes in a clean, airtight jar or container.
2. Infuse with Armagnac: Pour Armagnac over the prunes, ensuring they are fully submerged. If a sweeter infusion is desired, add sugar. Seal the container.
3. Store and Age: Allow the prunes to infuse in Armagnac for at least a few weeks, preferably longer. The longer the infusion, the more pronounced the flavors.
4. Occasional Agitation: Periodically shake or stir the jar gently to encourage the prunes to absorb the Armagnac evenly.
5. Serve: Once the prunes have absorbed the flavors of Armagnac, they are ready to serve. Enjoy them on their own or use them as a luxurious topping for desserts, ice cream, or even in cocktails.
