French Aperitif from Agen Laperitif Agenais


ingredients
8.8 oz prunes
3 Tbsp sugar + 1/2 cup sugar
½ cup Armagnac (or Cognac)
1 bottle good red wine
method:
Place the prunes in an airtight container, sprinkle them with 3 Tbsp sugar and add the Armagnac. Close the lid and macerate 4 to 5 days, shaking the jar from time to time. After 5 days, add the bottle of red wine and ½ cup of sugar. Close the lid and macerate 3 more days. After 3 days, lightly press the prunes to extract the juice; filter and pour into a bottle. No further maceration is needed and this aperitif can be enjoyed right away.
