Ingredients

  • 2 cups red wine
  • 2/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cups (1 pound) pitted prunes, halved
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • Finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the wine, orange juice, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon to a boil over high heat.
  • Remove from heat; add the prunes, and let steep 10 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the prunes to a bowl.
  • Return the liquid to a boil; cook until slightly reduced and thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry into a 12 x 18-inch rectangle.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the orange zest; sprinkle evenly over the pastry.
  • Arrange the prunes in rows over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cream; brush on the edges of the pastry.
  • Bake until the crust is golden, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan and brushing the tart with reserved cooking liquid halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven; let cool slightly.
  • Serve warm.
