    Title: Pickled Prunes
    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.
