Ingredients

1/2 pound dried prunes

1 clementine, sliced very thin

1 cinnamon stick

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup ruby port

2 tablespoons sugar (optional, to sweeten it up a bit)

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan. Add enough water to bring the liquid level just up over the prunes. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat for about half an hour, or until the prunes are very soft. Add more water as it simmers, if necessary.

Serve over yogurt, oatmeal, panna cotta, a plain cake, on toast, or anything else you can think of
