 Categories: Pickles
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
    250 ml White wine vinegar (9 oz)
    300 g  Caster sugar (10-1/2 oz)
      1    Cinnamon stick; broken
      6    Juniper berries; crushed
      6    Black peppercorns
      2    Cloves
    500 g  Prunes (1 lb 2 oz)
           -(good-quality unpitted)
 
  Heat the wine vinegar with the sugar and spices, stirring a little to
  help the sugar melt.
  
  Once it has melted, boil until the liquid has reduced by a third and
  is quite syrupy.
  
  Put the prunes in a sterilized preserving jar (wash it in boiling
  water and then leave in a low oven for 15 minutes) and pour over the
  syrup.
  
  Cover and leave to plump up.
