Sweet pickled prunes

• 8 oz(225 g) prunes
• ½ pint (300 ml)

Put the prunes into a mixing bowl and add the vinegar, water, brown sugar and stick cinnamon. Cover with a cloth and leave to stand overnight when the prunes will soften and the sugar will dissolve in the liquid.

Put the contents of the bowl into a saucepan. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until prunes are tender. Draw off the heat and, using a perforated spoon, transfer prunes to a plate,
