Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 20 pitted prunes ((160 grams))
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • Place the prunes in a small saucepan.
  • Add the water, vanilla, and cinnamon. Gently stir.
  • Bring to a boil (this will likely take about 5 minutes). Gently stir again, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, until the prunes are soft and swimming in syrup.
  • Transfer the stewed prunes to a heat-proof glass storage container. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the syrup to thicken and flavors to develop. Serve alone as dessert, or spoon on top of plain Greek yogurt.
