  • About

In épiceries fines the dried and sugared fruit are displayed irresistibly en masse. Pruneaux (prunes) are very popular, and are traditionally cooked with rabbit and pork and in Moroccan and Tunisian tagines. The ones to go for are the plump Agen prunes.

Ingredients

  • 300 g pruneaux d’Agen, stoned
  • 5-6 tablespoons Armagnac
  • 150

Method

Put the prunes in a saucepan with a little water and half the Armagnac. Heat gently and simmer for 5 minutes or so, letting the prunes soften and plump up. Let them cool in the poaching liquid, then liquidise them in a food-processor.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
