Fill a clean jar with good quality dried prunes. If they feel hard between the fingers, soften them overnight in 10 fluid ounces (300ml) strong tea then drain before putting them in the jar.
Cover them with port or armagnac. You will need about a bottle and it need not be an expensive make.
Store in a dark place for at least 3 months.
To serve, place one plump prune or two in the bottom of a small liqueur glass. Surround with some of the liquid and top with a heaped teaspoon of creme fraiche. The alcohol in the juice will lightly solidify the cream.
