This recipe for prunes in port wine is very easy and makes a nice simple dessert.  Its a very old recipe that was given to me about 20 years ago.  I have adapted it to the crock pot which was very easy.

I love prunes right out of the bag but with the combination of port it makes a nice light dessert.  Its not everyone's idea of a great dessert but I like it and its different. Just remember to not eat too many at once or you may get a stomach ache.  My son learned the hard way that when he was a little boy.  He told me the black apricots made him feel sick.  hehe

Prunes in Port Wineprunesinport1

1/2 lb (250g) dessert prunes
2 cloves
2 slices of  fresh orange and a piece of orange rind
1 tab sugar
1  small cinnamon stick
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup port wine
Place all ingredients in a small crock pot.  Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.  Stir light once during cooking but be careful not to break up the fruit. Serve hot with custard or cold with cream.  Serves 4.  You can double the recipe for a dinner party.

There are some great old recipes out there that you or your mother/grandmother used to make and they are adaptable to the crock pot usually quite easily.  Why not dig out some of your own and try them yourself this week.
