Prunes are really plums and are not used enough. This dish is so easy and anyone who has it loves it.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp English breakfast tea
- 300ml boiling water
- 4 tbsp Armagnac or Cognac
- 250g prunes, pitted
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar, sifted
- You can substitute the cream with the King Island Yoghurt
Method
- Pour boiling water over tea leaves and infuse for 10 mins.
- (I use 1 teabag).
- Strain, add 2 tbsp of the Armagnac and pour over the prunes.
- Cool and refrigerate for a few hours.
- Strain the liquid into a saucepan, add caster sugar and bring to the boil, stirring. Allow to bubble until the liquid is reduced to a light syrup, then cool.
- The prunes, syrup and cream should all be well-chilled before serving.
- Beat the cream until thick and stir in remaining Armagnac and icing sugar.
- Layer all this in glass dishes with stems.
