- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 10 whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon whole allspice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 small orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 pound large pitted prunes (about 45)
- 45 small pecan halves (about 1/8 cup)
- 6 tablespoons rum
Method
- In a large heavy saucepan combine sugars, vinegar, water, and spices and boil, stirring, until sugars are dissolved.
- Add maple syrup, orange and lemon slices, and prunes and simmer, covered, until prunes are plump and very tender, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer prunes with a slotted spoon to a bowl and boil syrup until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 15 to 20 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon remove spices, orange, and lemon and discard.
- With a small knife cut a slit in side of each prune and stuff with a pecan half.
- Divide stuffed prunes among 3 clean 12-ounce jars and pour enough hot syrup into each jar to just cover prunes.
- Add 2 tablespoons rum to each jar and cover tightly, turning jars a few times to distribute rum.
- Prunes keep, covered and chilled, 1 month.
